Any new way of communication signalling information to drivers is almost certainly going to use colours that are already in use on the railway now to convey information .
You cant have a new interface wiith loads of text on it because the driver needs to be able to look at it and quickly decide a course of action . Like is currently the case , single yellow is associated in a drivers mind with a certain course of action
For the sake of all of the people that hold current driver competence and for the sake of continuity any new signalling system will almost certainly use the current colour system in use on the railway . Otherwise drivers who have been driving to the current colour scheme could argue it puts that at risk of having a SOL incident
Take for example this proposition , If I was to take over a city in the UK and change the traffic light colours and positions to blue , purple and white stop at the bottom and proceed at the top . How long would it be before someone ploughed through a blue(red) light and caused a major crash .
