Red means stop, green means go… unless you are red-green colourblind.
And a quick google search shows that about 8% of the population has some form of colourblindness, while about 1% are in wheelchairs. Additionally, while it’s easy to differentiate between an icon of an able bodied person walking or standing still, there is no clear distinction in an icon of a person in a wheelchair.
So overall this is less inclusive and more confusing - but it made some people feel like they were helping.
- milesvp 3y agoYeah, I know someone who years ago failed their drivers test by driving through a red light. The test took them through a part of town with horizontal lights and he didn’t know which end was red. Luckily these days, the green has some blue in it to make it red-green colorblind distinguishable.
