    What on earth does red+yellow mean? "It's about to be green"?

    This is why modern green lights have a blueish tint to them. At least here in the US, older green lights were more of a pure green, and that meant for red-green colorblind people it was much harder to differentiate between red lights and green lights. But in this image you can see that the slight blue tint makes them pretty different.

    Here I was thinking the position of the light itself was the fallback.

    But then you got single blinking yellow vs single blinking red and I guess in those scenarios colorblind people just have to guess real good?

    This pic quality tells me the meme is circa 1903? If I remember correctly, it was screenshotted around then and reuploaded in 1917.

    At least in the U.S, The green light is on the bottom or the right of the light housing. Red is on the top or left.
