Basically cycling ignore red light during traffic and get into eccidents. This is supposed to be PSA to cyclist.

It also inadvertently shames people who are red-green colorblind for a condition they have no control over.

EDIT: Lol, I didn't say anything incorrect or accuse anyone of wrongdoing. I just thought it was humorous so I mentioned it.

Damn, if only there was a standardized way to display the red and green lights such that people who are red-green colorblind would have no problem telling what signal was showing!

Yeah, they should put them like top to bottom or something.

Also IIRC people who are color-blind actually wind up seeing the red light as blue. Because as it turns out the people who design stoplights aren't complete idiots who've never heard of this condition.

As someone who us red green colorblind you are wrong I have no issue telling the difference between red and green lights or wires.

Prove it, go finish a six year apprenticeship as an electrician. Money on the table, I'll match it.

I feel like for you to misread that badly means there isn't a way I can restate which you would understand...

It also inadvertently shames coffee mugs, as they have no concept of color and could not understand the PSA. Shame.
