Back in the mid-1980's IMSA ran a sports car race in downtown Miami. There was a stop/go light at pit exit to keep cars exiting the pits slowly from running into cars on the main straight at full chat. But there was this one racer who kept violating the signal, going on red.That's why they standardized lights so the "go" was on the bottom and the "stop" was on top.
There are traffic signals in use in major US cities that do not follow that standard.That's why they standardized lights so the "go" was on the bottom and the "stop" was on top.
DaMN IT! It is past noon, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, and you go posting pictures like this! My stomach not only growled, it bit!

When he was confronted by the race stewards, it came to light (pun intended) that someone mounted the stop/go light upside down, such that green was on the top and red on the bottom. Yup, you guessed it, the racer was color blind. (No, I don't remember his name.)
I’m colorblind. The ones that get me are the horizontal lights. Usually my passengers start yelling pretty soon when they see one.There are traffic signals in use in major US cities that do not follow that standard.

Just remember that it doesn't turn green after yellow. The light after the middle one means STOPIf you say so.
