Correct answer
Give way to vehicles from the right and take extra care.
Take extra care and give way to vehicles approaching from the right. A broken traffic light is neither an assumed green nor an automatic ban on all passage. Where officers or other signs are present, follow their priority directions; there are exceptions to the right-hand rule, such as roundabouts. Respect applicable pedestrian and cyclist priority too.
