Know if you're in danger of being hit by the door or trapped by force of bodies behind you. Enforced by fire code.
Added bonus if handles change their shade if someone on the opposite side is touching the handle.

eh..... does it not depend on which side of the door you are positioned as to which is "in" and which is "out"? Do you mean "push" or "pull"? |
|
| |
Subject to [xen]'s comment above, [+]. Green for
push (because you can keep going in whatever
direction you were going anyway) and red for pull
(because you have to stop and back up). |
|
| |
But only on emergency exits. There's enough
enforced functionality in buidings already. |
|
| |
Blue for pull (because it's coming towards you) and red for push (because it's moving away from you). Green for non-moving objects. |
|
| |
By having translucent handles, with an LED light, accelerometer and humidity gauge, additional information can be conveyed. |
|
| |
Different blink rates of the light for - "the door tends to get stuck at about ...degrees of opening", "It's wedged in the doorframe due to high humidity,it's a bugger to open", "behind this door lives someone grumpy, who likes slamming it a lot". |

A. Writing off Color blind ? |

B. Stop signs and stop lights are red. |

Having just returned from Helsinki, I can report that
the handles and push-plates in public buildings are,
by law, coloured yellow on the way out and blue on
the way in. |

Yes, but revolving doors are illegal. |

Do I detect some slight slip on the Buchanan mansion architectural plans, that coupled with a faulty metric to imperial calculation, means the east wing dining room ended up in Helsinki? |
|
| |
^ Perusing a coffee-table book on Max's estate (vol XXI), I think the east-wing dining room isn't a part of, so much as the founder of, Helsinki. |
|
| |
Vol XXI is part of the first series, which is long out of date and superceded. You should donate it to a charity shop and get the latest edition. I think it is available pre-loaded on a HDD array, for those whose broadband isn't fast enough to access the online version. |

No, we didn't want a place that was too large to
hoover. Of course we have places in Finland (not
least because the intercalary twin loves reindeers,
though we keep that quiet), but not directly
connected to our main shack. |
|
| |
// the latest edition// does indeed cover all
Buchanan estate properties, at least up to about
2012 (and hence omits the Turks and Caicos). |
