Unusual street light
« on: September 27, 2015, 23:45:41 »


I don't imagine anyone on this forum has ever seen a traffic light with the red on the bottom and the green on top before.  It is in the Irish section of Syracuse, NY.
  Anyone know of one somewhere else.
I feel sorry for color blind people coming to this street light.

my question would be - WHY??
"You don’t take a photograph – you make it” – Ansel Adams. Thats why I use photoshop.

Because they are Irish Catholics and Green is the color that represents them.  Orange represents the Protestants ( English Northern Ireland ).
