Stupid Traffic Light Designers

There is this one, which looks like an hourglass.

The nice thing about the old design is that someone who is color-blind can figure out what the lights mean. No so much with this stupid colored hourglass.

Sometimes the designers get it right early on. Traffic lights are one of those things.

  2. I can see people using the countdown as a
    drag racing staging tree. OR beat the light.

    Eck!

  3. I approve of the countdown to green, but the icon is annoying.

    I also have enough trouble distinguishing red from yellow that the positions are helpful to me. I'm fine with red and yellow on any other media, but for some reason, lights are challenging.

    I pass the RMV test every time, though.
