Traffic Lights for the Color Blind

This isn’t exactly motorcycle news, it’s goes more into the road safety category, but it’s interesting because three designers have come up with this brilliant idea, called UniSignal to help color blind riders and drivers (about 8% of the male popolation has color deficiency problems) have an easier time with traffic signals.

Instead of using round shapes for all three lights, the red light becomes a triangle, the yellow light stays round and the green becomes a square, this makes identification a much easier task for those who have problems identifying red and green.
