The initial purpose of this blog is to share information and faciliate discussion about the needs of colorblind drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
The percentage of colorbind people in the world is an oft-debated subject, as very few people are officially tested for color blindness. It's typically discovered by the individual themselves as they have trouble with certain color-related areas of life.
I'm a Traffic Safety Engineer and I'm red/green colorblind. Though I've worked in the transportation industry for over a decade, it has been rare to see an article, research project, or conference presentation on this issue. It is my hope to elevate the discussion and eventually improve roadway design and operation to improve the experience of colorblind roadway users.

ReplyDeleteThose with the milder types of the so called colourblindness (actually colourweakness) rarely have real world problems indentifying colour are often unaware of it for the simple reason that one does not know what other's experience.
Agreed. It goes back to the question, "How do I know that my green is the same as your green?" whether or not someone has a color vision deficiency.
ReplyDeleteFrom the film No Such Thing as Color, "...it is an artifact of perception."
