Hi guys, these lights were a carry over from ship navigtion. Another way to remember is LEFT RED PORT ( all small words) RIGHT GREEN STARBOARD (all large words) or No Port left, somebody drank all the red wine. Norm
Along those same lines...I always remembered it as Green has the Right of way. Helps me remember which side has the green light as well as which converging craft has the priority.
