minus-square@vatlark@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilink4•edit-213 days agoMy favorite mnemonic: “We have some red port left” Left if you are facing direction of travel = port = the red light
minus-square@Asinus@feddit.orgOPlinkfedilink1•edit-213 days agoThats a good one. Do you have horizontal traffic lights, or what is the connection to the red light?
minus-square@Asinus@feddit.orgOPlinkfedilink1•13 days agoOh, of course. Forgot about those. I only did some rowing on a canal for a year while studying. Sadly other than that, there is not much water nearby
minus-square@Airowird@lemm.eelinkfedilink1•13 days agoThink it’s referring to the red & green wing lights on planes
minus-square@vatlark@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilink1•13 days agoGood point, the lights on a boat or airplane (probably not a train) are red on the left and green on the right. Not sure how international that is.
