This is exactly how my bus would look if it weren't a piece of E36 M3.

The green over red traffic light is in the Tipp (Tipperary) Hill neighborhood in Syracuse NY.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipperary_Hill

My GF and I were in the Cuse on Saturday for the St Paddy's parade and much imbibing in the evening.

For the record, I'm not Jamaican. I do, however, have a rather profound preoccupation with pretty much everything having to with the land of wood and water. This reminds me that I haven't Jamaica bombed the hot link thread in a while. Expect white Corollas. Soon.

How do they get away with the lights being upside down?

I had a color blind DE student who'd have real issues with that.

I don't think it is written anywhere what ORDER the lights have to be. It is only by convention that red is on top, green on bottom, and amber in the middle.

Well, they eventually caved and allowed it after the light was repeatedly stoned. There is even a park on the corner called Stone Throwers Park.

Yes, I'd remembered that story. Also strikes me as odd with the politics of the time, that "Red on top" was acceptable. Didn't messrs MacCarthy and Birch have something to say about that?

They talk about the light on the wiki page link above. My understanding is that the red is always on top for safety reasons and the Wiki states that its the law.

Color blindness is one part of it and the other part is if you are cresting a hill, the first light you'll see is the red. Rather than an off green light. That way you have a better chance of stopping for the red light.
