This is in keeping with the Ocean State theme. Marine navigation buoys are red and green, and you stay between them to stay in the channel. In this configuration, you're clearly leaving the city, since red is on your left, and the alliterative memory aid "Red Right Returning," tells you to keep the red on the right side when coming into port.

I used to live in that neighborhood. That bridge has been under construction for a while, and that intersection has been annoying ever since. It’ll be wonderful when it’s is finished! What a great way to make the Smith Hill neighborhood feel truly connected with downtown!

How do you walk...?

Luckily there's a sidewalk on the right. You have to maneuver around the barriers to get there, though.

There's no walk sign on this side of the intersection, though, so it's a bit like Frogger.

Saw this Sunday afternoon. I just went by the right signal, since I figured the left one had been turned by the wind. PLUS the traffic from the left side of the intersection kept going through the intersection,😆

If you stay, there'll be trouble.

Maybe it represents that you can not turn left there, even though there are signs posted and the road is blocked off. I know that intersection and that left lane is meant for turning.

It seemed to me that the alignment on the left traffic light was out of whack, assuming wind or something like that. There’s no reason for there to be a light facing to the right in this picture, as it’s a one way in the opposite direction.

Recently moved to SWFL and ever since hurricane Ian lots of lights are super wonky. I came to a near full stop the other morning at a green light by accident because there was a red one next to it 😂
