Shouldn't the green and red be switched? It's strange to see a traffic signal upside down like that.

Generally, yes - Geneva convention set the standard of red on top... but there are some areas that don't follow that standard (there's a place in Syracuse, NY that the Irish descendants in the area regularly vandalize any light that is placed with the red on top - apparently they consider that a slight to the Irish (symbolized by the green - with the red symbolizing England).

It was obvious just by looking at the colors.

Yes, folks, some countries put the green on top and the red on the bottom.

Thanks. I’ve only driven in one country so I didn’t know.

Your right splash. Syracuse is famous for its green light on top traffic signal. Apparently installed in 1925 with green on top to honor its Irish heritage.

Not "bad" but very boring...even for my little one beside me.
