Correct answer: Treat it as an unmarked junction and proceed cautiously while watching out for other traffic..
You should always read the road ahead and be prepared to react to changing traffic situations. If the traffic lights are not working; you should approach the junction with extra care; and you should proceed only if it is safe to do so.
