A MOTORIST has revealed why many road signs are green, and people have been left shocked by the revelation. In the UK, green signs give directions on primary roads, whilst blue road signs direct you on motorways. For small roads, white signposts are used, while tourist attractions are highlighted with brown signs.
" Taking to TikTok, Zach D ( @zackdfilms92 ) revealed that the colours of these signs is in fact significant. In a viral video, which showed clips of US motorway signs, he said: "Have you noticed most highway signs are green. "Well, the reason for this is actually pretty important.
" "You see signs like 'stop' and 'wrong way' are painted red to capture your attention quickly. "But this would be too distracting on a highway where the signs are mostly for locations. "So instead they made the signs green which is a calming colour that's not too distracting.
" Zach's video has likely left many people impressed, as it has racked up over 970,000 views on the video sharing platform. TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts. One person said: "Bro is spitting more facts than my science teacher".
Another person said: "I find the green signs more distracting than the red ones". A third said: "In my country, those signs are blue". A fourth added: "There's like a whole colour code thing with highway signs.
