Red means stop, green means go
And you thought St. John didn’t have any stoplights. Well there is one. First one to correctly guess where this is gets an On-StJohn T-shirt. And the title “Nerdiest St. John Tourist Ever” because if you know where this is, you’re a nerd. (Locals disqualified.) 17 Responses to “Red means stop, green means go”Leave a Reply |

I don’t suppose, “Next to the air circulation vent, on the green wall, just below the metal siding, behind the chain link fence” qualifies as the answer you’re looking for…

On the Department of Public Works Building.

I have no clue but I’m going to guess it has something to do with getting on and off the car barge. Just a guess!
June 1st, 2007 06:56
I would guess it is for loading on ferry dock? Again, just a guess.
June 1st, 2007 07:28
OK…I will step up and be the nerd…it is on the side of the building (puiblic works bldg?) going up gifft hill road on the left right before the t intersection @ centerline rd…I think I have a similar photo…yep, guess I am a nerd!
June 1st, 2007 08:05
at the ball fields just up the hill in cruz bay?
June 1st, 2007 08:39
That must be on the side of the school that’s in town. I can’t recall the name of the school, but that’s my guess.
June 1st, 2007 08:45
isn’t that at the dpw. it’s in feet fins… i wish i had my copy with me.
June 1st, 2007 09:19
Although I like the first answer given, I am going to guess that it is in a schoolyard?

WINNER:
A few correct answers actually, but judging by time stamp, the first correct answer is from:
Karen Musgrove
The stop light is on the Public Works building, behind a chain link fence on the left hand side of Gift Hill Road at the intersection of Centerline Road. Not something you’d notice on a casual drive by.
If it’s got a purpose, we’d love to know.

Yippee. I am happy to be a St. John nerd. The purpose (according to Feet, Fins etc.) was that the Government thought St. John needed traffic lights. It didn’t so Ira Wade put one on the building. I read the jeep tour info to my husband as he drove when we were there in May.

That’s either the light that they hung at the intersection by connections & first bank that lasted 2-3 days or the one they tried to put one by W&W, Natures and cool breeze. I think the first one was before ira’s time so its probably the 2nd. I don’t think that one made it 24 hours even.
Both were completely disregarded — which only makes sense on an island where half the people don’t use their turn signals.
Its purpose would be to show that on st john things are done a little different and st thomas govt officials who don’t come over here don’t get to decide everything……..$irenu$a not withstanding…..

Just like they needed a bridge in Bovoni.
June 1st, 2007 18:39
It’s on the DPW building.

Out of town, towards your house on the right past the old Texaco. What? Isn’t that enough direction/ Come On! Do you want mapquest or what?
June 2nd, 2007 07:22
It’s at SJI (St. John International airport) next to gate D36 - kinda hidden behind the new jetway. It’s hard to get that straight-on angle unless the jetway is fully extended while boarding the Virgin Air 747’s
June 2nd, 2007 07:28
Carolyn was right. We’re building on STJ and we pass it at least 6 times per day on our way home.
