  1. Bob says:

    Go … stop … go

  2. The Moomin says:

    It’s fake, you can see the puppet strings supporting it.

  3. Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

    Always important to obey your traffic signals, no matter what they are telling you to do.

  4. The Moomin says:

    I think that means you should stall the car.

  5. ♂Krisstaar says:

    Should I stay or should I go?

  6. FreakyDeakie says:

    It means get out and walk!

  7. ickykid94 says:

    I don’t know whether to stop or go!

  8. Notu says:

    Damn this colorblindness.

  9. Vagabond says:

    Those color blindness tests are getting a little hard core. Hope you can see red XD

  10. Kalashnikov says:

    You choose.
    Go or Stop.

  11. Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

    Seems to be the traffic light’s version of a glass half full or a glass half empty.

  12. The Moomin says:

    Oops. Just covered my desk in cola by dropping fizzy cola bottles into my diet coke. It fizzes a lot.
    Just so you know.

  13. Mookie says:

    I don’t know whether to go ahead an enjoy this fail, or take my time and think about it first.

  14. doN'tbrEakyOurfaCe says:

    I know this game!

    *speaksinoneword* “redlightgreenlight!”

  15. 5_eagles says:

    Hey all. I gots a new avatar like it?. Yes no yes no stop go.(poem).

  16. My Brother says:

    and the punchline is …

    “Cuz my brother lives around here”

  17. Frank says:

    I’m guessing a ‘long’ exposure by the camera, taking advantage of the american traffic light sequence so that both green and red are lit (but at seperate times during the exposure). This would be best done in the twilight, hence the colour of the sky, and the brightness of the lamps.

  18. Sack says:

    Ah the burnout light

  19. mark says:

    STOP! Hammertime!

  20. 5_eagles says:

    “Photo Shopped” LOL.

  21. LucianC says:

    There are traffic lights that switch from red to green like that. It means “get ready to go”. It’s for crowded intersections.

  22. I ATE Moonmin and Mookie- Haxored says:

    I IS A BULL!
    CHARGES*

  23. Leila: part time Malicite / Pun Run Graduate with Certificate says:

    This has to be in Texas.

  24. Joe says:

    This stoplight is facing the classic dilemma: “Should I stay or should I go?”

  25. tytytypp.mybrute.com says:

    Hard decision!!

  26. ClariPossum says:

    … Title fail. That’s a STOP light, not a street light. ;)

    Technicalities aside, LoL!!!

  27. Clicky! The video artist in me, feel free to leave a message at the contactpage.

  28. Nigel Planner says:

    but is it a win or a fail or a winfail?
    *falls down confused*
    *gets run over by a BMW*

  29. Spider says:

    So… do I stop or go… or both!?

  30. I ATE Moonmin and Mookie- Haxored says:

    :8

  31. granny says:

    don’t granny don’t granny
    stop granny stop granny
    don’t stop granny!
    *runs away*

  32. FruitcakeSolvesAll says:

    Good morning everyone!*gets out a pringle pack*

  33. SoloM F T F says:

    my ass hurts

  34. |-|/-\XX()R says:

    ahahaahahha
    lulululululululululululululululuululululululuululululuululululululu
    did it die??

  35. jam says:

    I think I might over to lolcats. They get a better class of troll there apparently. :(

  36. Malicite, Bored Paralegal and Supporter of the Anti-Troll Initiative says:

    Hurray…trolls are out of middle school…

  37. Malicite, Bored Paralegal and Supporter of the Anti-Troll Initiative says:

    I hope you get water boarded.

  38. Jennyisbusy says:

    Anyone else notice that it is a traffic light fail?

  39. Leathersoup says:

    That sign must be a female…

  40. Magebear says:

    Horrific Accident WIN!

  41. Terry says:

    Street lights originally had only red and green, not yellow.

    Simultaneous red and green was thew equivalent of today’s yellow light, then the green would discontinue, leaving only a red light.

    These “red-green” traffic lights existed in parts of NYC into the 1960s.

  42. Ambrox says:

    Could this be equivalent to dividing by zero?

  43. anon says:

    …not sure if someone already said this, but that actually means someone’s crossing. i’ve only seen that in one town close to where i live, they’ve got a crazy intersection and when it’s red and green it means cross.

  44. MiMsy says:

    Mind if I join in? I’m not a troll, I like an ocassional hug/squeeze, and I think Welsh needs to contact an exterminator to kill the bug that crawled up his/her bum.

  45. Chris says:

    This is called a protected left turn, idiots.

  46. Hotjoe says:

    Catch 22 WIN

  47. deadshot86 says:

    that must mean that it is stop and go traffic.

  48. Go but go slowly.

  49. Lady Pavarti says:

    In Louisiana Green Means Go: Yellow Means Go Faster: Red Means You Should Have Sped Up Sooner. Sooooo….Guess This Means Go Fast!

  50. sim says:

    it just divided by 0 >.>

  51. Aja says:

    We are Go for Stop.

  52. oblomov says:

    I have a similar picture…the light was stuck at solid red and solid green for a half hour or so. It was messy, as you can imagine.

  53. Stark says:

    You could take this photo at ANY stop light.. just hold the exposure open long enough for the light to change from red to green. Lame.

    • cjust2006 says:

      But I DIDN’T take it at any stoplight… There was literally a storm the night before and the green was solid green and then the red was flashing. I LOL’d!

      • cjust2006 says:

        Also, it wouldn’t have been a fail if I did that. I wouldn’t have found the humor then to upload it. You took the fun out of it. Lame…

  54. Christopher says:

    Yeah, this is more of a driver fail. Flashing green and red has a purpose. Go back to traffic school before you get behind the wheel, buddy.

    • Papa Darwin says:

      True and false. Most places would view this light configuration as something seriously broken. There are places in the US where you can see this, usually as a warning that a light is about to turn green (so they can get a head start?). I recall somewhere in greater Boston being one of those places.

  55. Barc says:

    CAPTION FAIL! It’s not a “Street Light”; it’s a traffic signal. Street lights are what come on when it gets dark.

  56. Jon says:

    Photoshopped

  57. Oh Okay Princess says:

    Reminds me oh most women I know

  58. Keith Gable says:

    Not photoshopped. Totally was broken like this. I live a block away from it and work at the college adjacent to this light.

    Actually, to be specific, the green light was flashing but the red was solid. Right after a storm. The surge made my UPS interruptible (my UPS turned off).

    And it was the same for each direction, except the green alternated between each direction. They fixed it the next morning but it was definitely broken.

    Google maps street view, 4th and Mission Ln, Okmulgee, OK.

    http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=4th+and+mission+okmulgee,+ok&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=66.915969,135.351563&ie=UTF8&ll=35.624399,-95.944043&spn=0.008581,0.016522&z=17&iwloc=A&layer=c&cbll=35.624484,-95.944025&panoid=UXdEAgC4foRoHI-KqMpnyQ&cbp=12,171.18,,0,-10.37

  59. Tess says:

    Darling you gotta let me know
    Should I stay or should I go?

  60. Vik says:

    Looks like a time exposure to me. I’ve taken shots like that in which the shutter is open for several seconds and the light happens to change during that time.

    • Keith Gable says:

      I assure you, it was not; both lights were on. Green flashing and red solid. If the exposure was long, the light would be much more saturated. Assuming FailUploader didn’t mess with the EXIF data, you should be able to see the exposure time.

  61. Kyt says:

    Should I stay or should I go, now? If I stay there will be trouble, if I go it will be double!

    This happened to two lights where I live. To the left turn lane. Red arrow and green arrow were on. Steadily, though. >.>

  62. Armatige610 says:

    oh…oh no! WAT DO I DO!?!?!

  63. Jackson says:

    I would see this as a yellow.

  64. ThorGoLucky says:

    It is impossible for traffic lights (at least those in the USA) to light both green and red at the same time, unless there is major modification.

  65. Failer says:

    i dont see the fail here cause the green could also sign the drivers that they can turn right if their on the curb(happens in Canada too)

  66. Dregs says:

    Lawl at stop & go traffic

  67. akjb says:

    That’s just too easy to Photoshop.

  68. Solipsis says:

    It’s probably been said before but this is probably not a fail… in some countries just before the light turns to green I think both lights are lit to prepare the drivers.

  69. kjcline says:

    should i stay or should i go

  70. Chopstix says:

    Green means go
    yellow means yeild
    Reds ridiculous, keep going!

  71. annon says:

    Yellow NO!!! Green or Red, there is no yellow
