I was riding shotgun with a colorblind friend when he approached one of these somewhere around Pleasanton, CA. He started freaking out a bit as we approached, asking what color the light was.
Turns out that the standard is that red goes on top or on the left, but he didn't know that since he had never come across a horizontal stoplight before (neither had I).
So saying "I'm colorblind" is usually BS, but it is possible (especially if some designer went and got all cute with the stoplight).
