Tipperary Hill Heritage Memorial, Bronze sculpture in Tipperary Hill, Syracuse, United States.
The memorial features life-size figures depicting a 1930s family, with a father pointing to a traffic light while his son carries a slingshot.
Created in 1997, this memorial commemorates local residents who protested against the traditional red-over-green traffic signal placement during the 1920s.
The monument represents Irish immigrant heritage through bronze figures and reflects the determination of early Syracuse settlers to maintain their cultural identity.
Located in Tipperary Hill Memorial Park, the sculpture stands among 450 engraved bricks that contain names of community members who funded the project.
This memorial marks the location of the only traffic light in the United States where green appears above red, following persistent community demands.
