What can you guess the motorist is supposed to do when encountering a traffic light combination like this? The sign indicates that there is no other way to go except to the right, and the green arrow says "go" but the red light says "stop!"
Curiously, the two middle lights never turn on. The green arrow turns to yellow, and when the yellow arrow turns off, there is only the red light. The red light never turns off.
Credit for this strange situation goes to the City of Renton.

I'm sure I have passed through this intersection, but I don't remember the street configuration. Is there, in fact, a potential street straight ahead? If so, Renton may have bought the more complex signals in anticipation that one day (soon) the path straight ahead would also be possible.

I dunno, I think Grumpy, you may be giving too much credit to foresight.
This picture is great and reminds me of other pages/sites I have seen such as Engrish.com. Classic.
