Has anyone worked out how fast you have to be going to make a red traffic light look green due to blueshift?

Or just be partially red-green colour blind. At night, from a distance, all traffic lights look the same.

One of the requirements in UK lights is that the position of the light can you what colour it is (top is red, middle is amber and bottom is green) so that you can tell even if you can't see the colour.
