It seems intuitive enough: Red means stop, amber means caution, green means go.
As Covid-19 levels fluctuate around the world, health officials are devising ways to quickly alert their constituents about the virus’s threat level. Predictably, most have turned to color and many have adopted the hues of traffic lights. After all, the three-color schema developed in Detroit in the 1920s based on a British system for railroad traffic, has been universally used for over a century.
This is where the problem arises. The thing is, our understanding of color is richer and more nuanced beyond its application in traffic management.
Code redの適用範囲は学校での非常事態でも使われるようで次のような動画もありました。
英辞郎にあった次の語義、あの有名なYou can't handle the truthの場面で出てくるものでした。このシーンは何度とも見ていたのにCode Redには意識がいっていませんでした。

Judge Randolph : [to Kaffee from the judge's bench] Consider yourself in contempt!
Kaffee : Colonel Jessup, did you order the Code Red?
Judge Randolph : You don't have to answer that question!
Col. Jessup : I'll answer the question!
[to Kaffee]
Col. Jessup : You want answers?
Kaffee : I think I'm entitled to.
Col. Jessep : You want answers?
Kaffee : I WANT THE TRUTH!
Col. Jessup : YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
[pauses]
Col. Jessup : Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know; that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, *saves lives*. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a *damn* what you think you are entitled to!
Kaffee : Did you order the code red?
Col. Jessup : I did the job I...
Kaffee : [interrupts him] *Did you order the Code Red?*
