The crosswalk signal has changed from a white figure to a flashing orange hand
In maritime navigation, visible white lights indicate a vessel's masthead light or stern light, while green lights signify the starboard side of a vessel. When encountering another vessel in darkness, if you see a green light, it means the vessel is approaching from your right side. Conversely, a visible white light could suggest that you are either approaching the stern of the vessel or that it is facing you. Understanding these light signals helps in determining the direction and movement of nearby vessels to avoid collisions.
