The red-triangular sign was the warning (that's it road traffic meaning
right?)
Yes, that's the "yield" sign in the US

for more than you ever wanted to know about road signs.
The 'yield' triangle is 'upsidedown'.
A ll the international warnings are a 'right way up' triangle.
(Prohibitions are red circles and blue signs are info).
Using the US street sign metaphor,
Many of these are unfamilar to very many Boost users, since, like other
irritating things like US paper sizes.., it is NOT the
international standard :-(
Please be kind to the red/green color deficient people among us :).. it's
easier on us if everything has a different shape, too.
I agree that this is a reasonable concession for the 'chromatically challenged'
;-)
So a red STOP octagonal sign might be good for the highest level of alerting?
(And NOT changed color for any other purpose).
So do we really need caution AND warning?
Info - blue i
tip - light bulb - tungsten filament - not very green ;-))
warning - triangle red outside !
Stop and think about this first - stop sign. - unless we use the skull and
crossbones for this ;-)
