I think you're misunderstanding me--we're conditioned as drivers not just to notice those colors, but to actually take steps to avoid getting close to people wearing them or to slow way down when we see them on people. I'm totally agreeing with you that it's a good idea to copy the road workers' strategy and maybe just going a little further with why.
