Why are prohibition signs red?
1 Answers
Prohibition signs are red because: The state has stipulated four safety colors to convey safety information, among which red represents prohibition and danger. From a color perspective, red is more eye-catching and can immediately grab attention. Even people with red-green color blindness can easily recognize stop signs. Moreover, red inherently has the characteristic of making people obey, making it easy to serve as a warning. This enables people to quickly spot or identify safety signs and receive timely reminders to prevent accidents and hazards. Prohibition signs are graphic signs that prohibit unsafe behaviors. The geometric shape of a prohibition sign is a circle with a diagonal bar, where the circle and the diagonal bar are connected in red, the graphic symbol is in black, and the background is in white.
