When approaching an intersection where the signal lights are not working, you should:

Treat it as an all way stop sign intersection.
Stop and wait until the intersection is clear
Park the car and direct the traffic yourself
Slow down and proceed with caution

The correct answer is: Treat it as an all way stop sign intersection.

When approaching an intersection with non-functioning signal lights, it's important to treat it as an all-way stop sign intersection. This means that all traffic approaching the intersection must come to a complete stop and yield the right of way to other vehicles in the intersection. Option B is incorrect because simply waiting until the intersection is clear does not ensure that other vehicles will do the same. Option C is also incorrect because parking the car and directing traffic yourself is not only illegal, but also potentially dangerous. Option D is incorrect because while it is important to slow down and proceed with caution, treating the intersection as an all-way stop is still the safest course of action.
