Red Light Easily Best
for Signaling Purposes

1t is ascertained from the bureau
of standards, In the Department of
Commerce, that the red light leads all
the rest for signaling purposes, its
visibility far outranging lights of any
other color. A grasp of the truth now
scientifically demonstrated Of course
accounts for the selection Of red in the
railroad service, on the highway and
in theaters for the danger light. Its
use in theaters and public halls, where
it might suddenly become necessary
for crowd of people to seek safety
through emergency exits, has been
criticized on the ground that green,
not red, is the safety" light. But
there is common understanding of the
meaning Of the red light when it
marks fire-exit, and the use of it to
guide a panicky assemblage to safety
is justified, inasmuch as for catching
the eye there is no color so effective
as red.
No departure from long customary
traffic practice is to be expected as a
consequence of the intensive study of
signal lights, which the bureau Of
standards is making in cooperation
with the national safety council, the
railroads and highway organizations,
although some difference in the
shades of the colors now in use may
be recommended. Green is scientific
cally proved to be a far second to red
in visibility, yellow and blue following
in, order, concludes the Providence
Journal.
