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.

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

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.

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 !

Im working in the ETL / BW / BI areas of it. Crap doesnt cover the documenation. Or how buggy the UI is.

Hey, don't knock SAP.
They've got the best Random Function Distributor that I've ever seen used for a UI.

I would say the whole UI is a rand crap generator.

Old woman lives round the corner from me often walks a couple of cats round the block late at night. Has at least one other that doesn't leave the house.
Police forensics went in to remove her body this morning. Been there at least two weeks.
One can't help wondering how much of her the cats had left.

A cat needs about 6 ounces a day. How many cats did she have?

At least three, but I believe there were a few more cat carriers being carried out of there this morning.
