Inaccurate for (some of) Aarhus, Denmark. This is what some of our pedestrian crossing lights look like:

Germany also has a couple exceptions. The two that immediately come to mind are the Ampelmann (traffic light man) in Berlin and the Mainzelmännchen in Mainz.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the Ampelmann is not just in Berlin. It was standard across all of the GDR, but then they thought a bland sticj figure is more representative of peoples identity in capitalism so now more and more lights inthe east also have that generic sign

[–] reev 2 points 1 year ago

Huh, didn't know that. Booooo, I like the Ampelmann!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I love those too! ❤️

[–] LetterboxPancake 9 points 1 year ago

That's it, I'm moving to Denmark!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I think that's to loot and pillage.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Nah, we don't do that anymore. Any looting done in today's Denmark is the American way: multinational corporations and politicians pretending to be benevolent while being reverse Robin Hoods.

Accidentally pasted in stead of uploading the second image on my first try. I blame a lack of sleep and coffee 😄

Better this way, every time someone walks towards Poland we have a new war.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago

The UK forgot their keys and had to walk back.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago

And Poland is just standing there... Menacingly!

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Funny, but not true. The standing man icon is for the red light, the walking one is for green in poland, just like everywhere else.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Need more polishing before everyone will come back.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Norway’s seems the most casual. Everyone else (apart from Poland’s) looks they’re rushing or powerwalking, whereas Norway’s walker is just going for a stroll.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So, seems obvious the image would be on a sign on the side of the road adjacent to the direction of travel, showing the figure walking towards the road into traffIc.

Then there are those that are backwards...

Russia is fleeing the war they started, Ukraine is chasing them down, Belarus is running to lick Putin's ass and Estonia is itching to kick Putin's ass. Poland is standing defiantly in the middle guarding between Assholeland and the West.

Then the Irish guy is clearly just drunk and stumbling backwards into the road. I can relate.

Germans walking away from Poland just seems so wrong tho...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Germans know how to learn from their mistakes ;)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That’s them returning after conquering Poland.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I propose a petition to flip the Ukrainian sign to the left. I'd rather be walking towards Poland (peacefully)

[–] LetterboxPancake 3 points 1 year ago

Nah, rather keep an eye on those to the right. You don't need to walk towards them, but I wouldn't turn.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No one:

Poland:

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

And the Ukraine is chasing Russians back where they came from.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Correcting histories wrongs where everyone thought they had the right to walk into Poland.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks kinda like England wants back into Europe. Hm...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nope, just some Troubles with the next island over

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

If you knew about Poland's political situation you'd want to run too.
