Many people aren't aware of South Florida's large Santeria subculture. The evidence can be see throughout Miami Dade County. Santeros often leave offerings to there Gods (Orishas) in specific locations such as railroad crossings, trees, cemeteries and [in this case] intersections. The offering can range from sacrificed animals, trinkets, and fruit. Each God has it's favorite.
The oranges pictured are possibly for Elegua; the god that Santeros believe protects the home.
