A broken stoplight is considered a 4-way stop under the law here. There's no need for hand signals or flashing headlights. Though, Police may direct traffic if necessary.

In the case of alternating one-way streets, I've always seen construction workers directing traffic. People will obey a person, even when they won't obey a light. Alternatively, consider installing a red light camera.

This intersection is 4 lanes plus a left turn lane in all directions with constant traffic. Hand signals were absolutely necessary because 12 people were all approaching the intersection simultaneously.

It's nice that you have always seen that. I'm not sure it would make sense for my town to have construction workers directing traffic 24/7 for the next 3 months while they repair the bridge, so they put in a temporary light. Regardless, I don't know what your point is.

There is a set of rules that describes which cars go in what order.

The big problem I see is human drivers are going to start driving more aggressively because they know automated vehicles will always back off first.
