Reply to comment by ashank3 in Eli5 why do traffic lights have red, yellow and green color? Why not use other colors so that even colourblind people can drive. by [deleted]
The counterintuitive part is that you normally think about things from the perspective of your car. Your car goes on green and stops on red. My machine goes when I flip the switch to red and stops when I flip the switch to green. If you think about someone else's car at the stoplight, then fine, this matches well, but I also think you're weird if you do that.
