I've used the full Agent before (which I assume has the same filters), and the filters were quite detailed. You do have to almost use a programming language to operate them though. |

It's about 8% of men, although many of them do not realise that, or discover it until tested later in life. I think you'd notice when you saw all the traffic light bulbs looking identical. You're not safe to drive if you can't tell red from green. Very few are that colorblind and those who are just use the position of the light, not the color. Dunno how they go with those colored arrows that are now so common to indicate when you can turn at the more complex intersections tho. Cant find a proper photo of ours and too lazy to go there and take a photo, but we have some where there is a normal column of 3 lights and one arrow off to the side which changes color to indicate when you are free to turn there. Ours doesn't change colour. We have the normal three lights and maybe an arrow at one side (sometimes both sides). If the main green is lit, but not the turn arrow, you can turn anyway, but must give-way to oncoming traffic. If the arrow is lit, oncoming traffic will be facing a red. There is no need for any other colour arrows. Where the turn lane is separated from the straight on lanes, two full sets of three lights side by side are used. One of our complicated intersections has the arrow either green or red. Its red when the cross traffic has been allowed to make the turn into that vertical of the T and so a turn from the other top bar of the T isnt allowed because that would mean you have to give way at times. In other words the lights don't require you to ever give way, the arrow only shows green when there is never any conflicting traffic. That would work well here, as a lot of drivers don't seem to understand that you have to give way on a green. For example there's a crossroads here I've shown befo https://goo.gl/maps/8XGD49FnQPr Drivers on the opposite side turning right have to give way to a car coming from this side going straight ahead, but they see the green light and just go. I drove straight towards one of those loonies the other week and blasted my horn. He swerved out of my way and ended up looking very embarrassed on the wrong side of the main road (about where the small silver car is in the photo, but facing the other way) right in front of the queue of traffic which shortly wanted to go forwards. He got stranded in the middle of the junction for some time while I stopped and laughed at his predicament. Another complex intersection has a railway shunting line right across it right at the lights. That one has an arrow that changes color too and it stops or allows traffic to cut across the oncoming traffic when turning. Its also a single arrow that changes color. There's something wrong when we let trains have priority over cars. They need to get decent brakes. I can't understand your Streetview link. The view is coming out of the Aldi car park, and there is a turn left lane with a turn left arrow, and a straight ahead lane. Are you truly saying that when when the straight ahead light goes green and you drive out, the main road lights are also green? No, the lights opposite each other operate together. So when I come out of Aldi, the opposite entrance (from Asda) is also green. The main road has stopped on red, but someone coming out of Asda and turning right has to give way to me going from Aldi to Asda. A lot of drivers think green means they can go anywhere, when in fact they still have to give way when turning right. The same occurs with the main road, but nobody seems to make that mistake as they're sat in a filter lane. |

You're not safe to drive if you can't tell red from green. I suspect they don't look *identical*, just not as distinct as to someone with normal colour vision. They would use the position to confirm which is which. Correct. Which is why colour-blindness is not even notifiable to the DVLA. Driving a train is of course totally different as braking needs to be commenced way earlier and the position of the light cannot be determined at that point. I'm not colour blind, and I don't look directly at the traffic lights. I see red or green out of the corner of my eye and act accordingly. If they suddenly became the same or very similar colours, That isnt what happens with most colorblind people. And its never suddenly with any of them, they are born with it. I'd make mistakes regularly. Yes, some colorblind people do, but its normally only with trivial stuff like not being able to pick matching sox or less frequently wearing contrasting colors that don't really go together that only normally sighted people notice. Are you saying a colour blind person already knows to look carefully at things? The microscopic subset of people that can't distinguish between red and green do if fact use which of the column of lights is lit instead of the color. Which means they aren't paying as much attention to the rest of the road in front of them as properly sighted folk do. |

The microscopic subset of people that can't distinguish between red and green do if fact use which of the column of lights is lit instead of the color. I can't think of where else colour and position are that important. The most obvious is with signalling to aircraft in the days before radio communication was used. They used red or green light to indicate whether you were allowed to land or not depending on what else was using the runway. the radio was invented first so that's just stupid , and what did they do in the day time , yell out the plane window , what a freakin jerk nosed pig footed ear grabbing habit face Was that supposed to be English? |
