I find that funny, as due to a strange colour blindness, I have often seen green traffic lights as blue.  So I have had four colour traffic lights all my life!! :o ;D ;D ;)

I thought only blokes were (properly) colour blind. Well, 8% of them. Including me :(

I vote all traffic lights are bloody well banned. Especially on roundabouts (islands for you northerners).  What a stupid idea.

It's only for when the number of fully autonomous vehicles exceeds the number of piloted vehicles at a junction. Mooted by some egghead in America. As there are no fully autonomous vehicles on British roads, I wouldn't worry, Ray, you'll be well past driving before this takes effect.

There is one make currently on Spanish roads but they are only motorways and the car has to be equipped with the tech to spot driver is alert.

We drove for forty minutes on some minor roads today and not a white line down either side or in the middle. Mostly not wide enough for two Tesla’s to pass. If they did then branches or weeds would strafe the side of the cars!
