Aside from the power outages causing theclosure of several Maryland MVA Branch Offices, the severe weather also causesproblems on the roadway.  The MVA, which produces the Maryland DriversHandbook and licenses and tests all drivers, wants drivers to understandand regularly review the “Rules of the Road” when the weather makesdriving hazardous.

Power outages have caused numerous trafficlights at intersections throughout the state to either malfunction or not workat all.  Remember, when encountering a traffic light that ismalfunctioning or not working, you should treat this intersection as a four-waystop sign.  Come to a complete stop and yield to all other traffic, thenproceed when the way is clear.

The Maryland Driver’s Handbookis available at all MVA branch offices and online athttp://www.mva.maryland.gov/Resources/DL-002A.pdf to provide additional information regarding traffic safety rules.
