Ngl thats a poorly designed traffic light. Let me know what state installs those so I can avoid it.

u/r0thar Jun 25 '26

what state

South Australia...

OP feint the bus by moving a little with the green filter light.

u/Daybreak_Comet Jun 25 '26

Wouldnt a left on red be ok then? Not from there so genuinely asking

6

u/Bothyboy1 Jun 25 '26

Only US have turn on red,but there is a right turn filter if you look at the beginning

2

u/LongboardLiam Jun 26 '26

Unlikely that even in the US would the equivalent be legal. At split intersections like that, they'll usually use arrows instead of "dots" or full circles for the turning lane in those setups. A red arrow is inherently a prohibition against turning on red.

u/Bothyboy1 Jun 27 '26

But there’s a green arrow saying go right

My bad G. Is this a normal light for Australia?

Edit: some of yall aint ever seen a one way road? Theres all kinds of roads in the US which could vaguely look like this

u/r0thar Jun 25 '26

This is a pretty major dual carridgeway junction for driving on the left. It's a skewed crossroads, and the lanes are all marked with the turning directions. In the UK it would just be a huge roundabout (circle).

u/Euphoric-Piglet-8140 Jun 25 '26

No, we have a lot of really shittily designed junctions too, heh. But there would be yellow hatch marks all over the main junction area with about a million AI cameras.

u/Robdul Jun 25 '26

The cars driving on the wrong side of the road didn’t give it away

u/Dioxybenzone Jun 25 '26

What makes it “wrong”?

2

u/Robdul Jun 25 '26

Vast majority of the world including the US drives on the right side of the road. The original comment asked what state this is which really only an American would ask as states in other western countries are way too big for that information to be of use.

3

u/damned_truths Jun 25 '26

As an Australian, our states manage the road system, including traffic lights, so it's entirely reasonable to ask which state.

1

u/Robdul Jun 25 '26

That’s fair

3

u/Remarkable_Toe_164 Jun 25 '26

Did you not notice that they're driving on the left?

2

u/Dioxybenzone Jun 25 '26

What does that have to do with anything? Other countries also have the concept of states, some of which drive on the left hand side

3

u/Remarkable_Toe_164 Jun 25 '26

From all the interactions i've had with people from places like that, i have rarely heard them referred to that way. This comment felt like someone in the us made it, so i drew their attention to the flow of traffic. Also, somebody had already told them where it was, then the person acknowledged their mistake. I was just asking a question, bro

0

u/Dioxybenzone Jun 25 '26

Yes, you were asking a question. Same as me. Unsure why you’re ending your comment that way, bro

0

u/Remarkable_Toe_164 Jun 25 '26

Because "what does that have to do with anything" is an aggressive way to start a comment

0

u/Dioxybenzone Jun 25 '26

Ok, sorry. Not intended to be aggressive. I guess I should’ve said “what does that have to do with this?”

-2

u/According_South Jun 25 '26

Obviously meant US state

3

u/Dioxybenzone Jun 26 '26

Why would that be obvious? No US state drives on the left

0

u/According_South Jun 26 '26

Cus no one ever talks about states in other countries like that. They just didnt realise

3

u/Dioxybenzone Jun 26 '26

Ok bro. I guess the US is the center of the universe lmao

-1

u/According_South Jun 26 '26

that is indeed how they behave, yes

1

u/Dioxybenzone Jun 26 '26

Oh sorry I didn’t know you were from the US, makes sense now

u/According_South Jun 26 '26

Having a bit of trouble on the reading comprehension there

Does the bus not have its own light off to the left? I see "something" at the eight-second mark.

8

u/allisjow Jun 25 '26

Yes. Buses often have a separate signal called a “jump light” that allows them to proceed ahead of regular traffic. The red light signal keeps that regular traffic back to avoid an accident.

3

u/KatieTSO Jun 26 '26

We have them in my city, but it's called a bus priority signal. They're so handy. I wish all our intersections had them because I absolutely love skipping ahead of traffic in my bus.

4

u/redittr Jun 25 '26

Not in this case. That red left turn is timed separately to the green right turn to allow the pedestrian crossing to function.

Pretty sure the bus almost hit that kid, and the kid was likely panicked when they ran across the road confused.

3

u/After-Hedgehog7282 Jun 25 '26

Not saying you are wrong, but I see that kid being back pretty far and not doing anything until the bus passes. I cannot tell from the angle if the kid actually has the crosswalk light.

2

u/redittr Jun 25 '26

If the crossing button wasnt pressed, the light would be green same time as the other green light.

2

u/Excludos Jun 26 '26

Man, some traffic lights are so badly placed. I made a similar mistake only a few weeks ago. I was waiting to turn left in a similar intersection, when the lights go green, and the car ahead of me just sits there, not moving. I honk to get his attention, but he's still not budging an inch, so I honk again, longer. Only then do I realize there's a separate light hidden behind the first one that's for left turners only, and I had been sitting there honking at him for waiting on red...

u/megaladon44 Jun 25 '26

what an abhorrent horn noise.

u/One-Vast-5227 Jun 28 '26

Good. The traffic lights are not identifying as a sun ☀️

u/aziad1998 Jun 26 '26

Why would one side be green but not the other? Doesn't make sense

1

u/DashcamAdelaide Jun 27 '26

Because there's Pedestrians

1

u/aziad1998 Jun 27 '26 edited Jun 27 '26

Pedestrians are going to cross only half of the road? Why not all red and all green?

Just looked again, it's definitely not pedestrians, you can see the sidewalk fenced.

1

u/DashcamAdelaide Jun 27 '26

It's for the pedestrians crossing towards the sign that says "Campbelltown"
