Why Japan Has Blue Traffic Lights Instead of Green

I have been to Japan a couple of times. The first time I was there in 2016 many of the lights were very blue with hint of green. I noticed when I was there over the summer that the lights were getting greener, many of them pretty much just green. I think they have been transitioning, perhaps as they have updated to LED lights or something they have been making them more green?

I wouldn’t be surprised if it had something to do with the Tokyo olympics. Are other cities also green now?

Yes, I was in several other cities and noticed it throughout. Spent half of the summer in Sapporo (my favorite Japanese city so far!) and it was definitely noticeable there.
