63 Giving way at intersection with traffic lights not operating or only partly operating (1) This section applies to a driver at an intersection if traffic lights at the intersection are not operating, or the traffic lights are showing only a flashing yellow traffic light. (2) If there is a traffic light-stop sign at the intersection, the driver must comply with section 67 (Stopping and giving way at stop sign or stop line at intersection without traffic lights) as if the sign were a stop sign at an intersection without traffic lights. (3) If there is no traffic light-stop sign at the intersection, the driver must give way to vehicles and pedestrians at or near the intersection in accordance with section 72 (Giving way at intersection (except T-intersection or roundabout)) or section 73 (Giving way at T-intersection) as if the intersection were an intersection without traffic lights, or a stop sign, stop line, give way sign or give way line. (4) Subsection (3) does not apply if the intersection is a roundabout.
