Dangerous misleadingly positioned traffic light

Reported via mobile in the Safety concern (traffic or pedestrian) category anonymously at 22:31, Sunday 15 June 2025

Sent to TfL less than a minute later. TfL ref: FMS7713906.

The light circled in the picture is extremely misleading. It shows green when other lights for oncoming traffic show red. It is not clear if it has been rotated or poorly positioned. I saw two vehicles mistakenly jump a red light crossing Whitechapel road today because of the confusing light. Whitechapel is a major road and this is a busy intersection.
