> I can drive a car and I stop when the light is red and go when the light is green.

I'm also slightly colorblind and pure green light would be harder to distinguish from distance (not critical because there is also light position, but still). That's why traffic lights usually have cyan tint.



Discriminating a sole blinking-red vs. blinking-yellow light is a bit hard , but in practice I get it right.


I see traffic lights as red, yellow, white. At night from a distance this can be a problem.
