What is wrong here:
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.7004417,-70.3004964,3a,75y,96.6h,82.91t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s1Ym8ckXvN7tPvRlpB0Ex5w!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

I see that both directions have a doghouse. Does it activate based on the time of day? Maybe it was formerly split-phased?

I'm not even sure. There is no left turn lane so they probably give a red with a green left in both directions. I don't know the info well enough about here though

Very odd traffic signal here on Bayshore Blvd in San Francisco.

https://www.google.com/maps/@37.7481054,-122.4036337,3a,75y,11.84h,96.52t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sNrsaKRlme7JFyNwU4Mbn6g!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

This may be a metering light for the freeway entrance, but it is very unusual to have a meter at the very beginning of the ramp where it will certainly impact surface traffic.

This is clearly a flasher.

Speaking of flashers/beacons, is this a legal use of red flashing beacons at this sign assembly? There is a STOP sign at the end of the road.

That's just a flashing caution signal that alternates between the top and bottom lights.  There's no metering sign, there's only one light for two lanes, and if it was a metering light you couldn't tell which lane it was for.

They look like amber flashers, not red.

As for the driver on that video who overly nitpicks everything everyone does on the roadway, I couldn't help but notice he didn't stop at the stop line, but rather over the pedestrian crossing line.  I guess he only observes what he believes is an infraction when he doesn't make one.

Yup - That's the first thing I noticed too.  I didn't even bother turning on the sound, so I was wondering if he was hypocritically nitpicking or just saying "Look, I can barrel across the stop bar too!"

They definitely look red in this GSV view.

Um... what the fuck Sharon. Trying out different backplates, all at one intersection:

This looks more like green (FYG, specifically) than white.

I've only seen white in Pennsylvania: example here.

It is also found in Culpeper VA. Check the intersection of Main @ Davis in downtown. Very very weird! I would send street view but I'm using my phone.

1. No provision for a right turn though it is not prohibited (absence of a no right turn sign)
2. the through arrow is supposed to be above the left turn arrow.
