New traffic lights for Cape Town

The City of Cape Town has introduced a new traffic light system, and the rest of South Africa may soon follow.

so what does it look like when its working?
displays numbers, or Morse code?

I'm guessing it just signals green or red for the respective direction.

Apparently it doesn't use any of those colors so as not to be confused with the normal lights.

However, the new lights do not display red, amber, or green, and are therefore less likely to be confused with normal traffic systems, said the city.

That looks more confusing rather than less. Why no colours?
