What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?
RE: What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?
every traffic light in United States has a red light over the yellow and green. All except for one.   there is a single streetlight in the city of Syracuse on which the color order is inverted with the green light on top and red light on the bottom, and it has been arranged like this since the 1920s.

apparently, there was briefly a normal traffic light at this location.  however, local people of Irish descent objected to the placement of the unionist color, red over the Irish color green. And the light was frequently vandalized until the city passed ann ordinance mandating the reversal of the color Order on this specific light.
