The crossing guard in Rochester who pointed at the walk signal, not the light
Years back I watched a guy in a neon vest stop a kid at a crosswalk and point at the little walking figure instead of the big light above it. He mentioned the red and green lamps look about the same to him, but the shape of the person is hard to mix up. That was 2011 and it still pops into my head whenever I see a status dot that's just a colored circle with nothing else going on. We had the same fix back then for forms, just a checkmark or an X next to the field, and it cost nothing. Curious if anyone here still leans on shape and icons first and color as the backup, or is that too old school now?
