Rant: My friend's new traffic app almost got us in a wreck because of its color coding
We were driving in Portland last week and he was using this app that shows slow spots in green and fast spots in red. He's red-green colorblind and didn't see a big red warning for a closed lane until I yelled. The designer just assumed everyone sees those colors the same way. It's not just about being nice, it's about safety. Has anyone else seen a public app or sign that's just plain dangerous for colorblind folks?
