Royal Portbury traffic light could be either colour as you enter or leave the Avon

No

It could be various traffic light marks at several places, or is it something sneaky like a directional beacon, or even sneakier like an old navaid on the roadside somewhere painted red on one side and green on the other?

Not traffic lights or anything sneaky.I'll give you guys a clue its a lighthouse thats painted RED and has a GREEN light.You leave it to Stbd on the way in which is obviously unusual in daylight.
