I have personally witnessed the exact scenario you described.

That shouldn't be necessary: lights are always Red on top, amber (if any) in the middle, and Green on the bottom. The colorblind use the position as their cue.
The description you have is a bit like railroad controls: 3 dots verticle for GO, 3 dots diagnal for SLOW, and 3 dots horizontal for STOP - no color differences . . . but I've heard they're moving that to the RAG version.
Easiest solution is to close your eyes and hit the gas.

But that isn't always true, I've driven through some areas of Texas where they put their lights horizontally instead of vertically. Obviously if you live in the area position helps, but if you're just passing through, it might not be immediately obvious.

Alas, I knew someone would bring up horizontal. That, too, is standardized, but I didn't know the standard.
Note that if you're in Texass, then all bets are off.

Here (Montréal), I've seen a vertical white bar in conjunction with the other 3 colors.
It is used as a "Transit priority light" to let buses (and maybe taxi) pass the intersection in before all other traffic, just before the green light.
I'd rather be phishing!
|
|

|
|
Considering the location (near the exit of a major public transit hub) that seems pretty plausible, especially considering it only faced the side where the buses were generally coming from.
|

It's not a replacement for the standard red-amber-green light. It's a transit priority signal[^] that allows transit vehicles (e.g. trolleys) to proceed when standard vehicles have a red light.

Seconded and fived... now I'm confused... should I have said sevented?

Yes, but only if you're a transit vehicle.

Ah. All my attempts to Google it just ended up with general information about common traffic signs, thanks.

Haven't seen those yet, but:

I had to look up where that is (not a native of the area)...and now I feel a little stupid because the name makes it kind of obvious

Fall asleep at the PlayStation again, did we?
It won't be for colour blindness. Even if you're red-abmer-green colour blind, it's a no-brainer to notice that the Stop one is at the top.

As mentioned above, not all traffic lights are vertically oriented. But I do have a definitive answer, my post original post will have it soon.

I am in SAP training, after seeing their documentation I will never ever swear at the MSDN again. It seems the documentation was written in German, translated to Chinese then to Hindi, then to Spanish and then finally to English.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

In other words don't be a SAP. Sorry had to go there!

I didn't know I would have to learn SAP when I took a DBA job. As long as they don't actually expect me to build anything...

Not sure what product of theirs you are working with. As a longtime Crystal Reports dev, I affectionately refer to my reporting application object as 'crapp'. 
The documentation and KB has gotten impossible to use. I usually find CR solutions on developer forums.

Forget about help/solution on CR. Even if you have to find re-distributable or installable package, its a challenge. Even Google used to fail me !
