Solution :

Danger signal lights are red because this colour has the longest wavelength among all the colours. Also, it is the least scattered by fog, dust and smoke particles. This makes red light visible even from a longer distance.

Danger signals are red in color because it is scattered the least by air molecules. The effect of scattering is inversely related to the fourth power of the wavelength of a color. Since the color red has the highest wavelength of all the colors we can see it scattered the least.
