So yesterday, a bunch of lights by me had zero power, not even flashing red or yellow. In this instance, the police set up stop signs for the lesser streets to come out onto the main road but the main road was so dark with no power around that it was given a right of way with no stopping.

The main road always has the right of way when no signal is present.

What if two roads have equal degrees of "main-ness"?

Lol. One road is typically more the primary road. When in doubt yield. It's been a long time since I went through the drivers Ed manual, but I taught my daughter and she's totaled 2 cars in the last 3 years by looking at the phone and not paying enough attention.

In the end I think all drivers should exercise caution and pay attention. A little common sense goes a long way. If only it was more common ha ha ha
