There is "good psychological evidence" that yellow is a better color
than red. The automatic responses to the colors are

   red - danger - panic - what do I doooooo?
   yellow - wake up - action - (what ever is appropriate)
   loud siren you can hear seven blocks away - stop for coffee and donuts

And the lines on roads should be small reflectors (like they have in England)
that 1) do not get worn off in six months
     2) are very visible at night
     3) are called cat's eyes to avoid confusion.

"That's called "improvisation" - not making it up as you go along."
