It’s Valentine’s Day, so what better way to celebrate than some romantic traffic light designs?
It’s a strange idea but in southern Taiwan, that’s exactly what they’ve done.
One shows a kneeling man proposing to his girlfriend, while another shows a green man holding his girlfriend’s hand while they cross the road.
Pingtung County Police trialed the designs in December, with the intention of making the existing traffic lights “more attractive.” Their designs will now be rolled out across the county during 2018.
Pingtung’s mayor, Pen Men-an, said to Taiwan News that the change “emphasizes Pingtung as a county filled with love.”
It’s not the first time traffic lights have been changed from the standard design.
In Utrecht, The Netherlands, one traffic light has been designed as a tribute to a local cartoonist, Dick Bruna, with a rabbit character called Miffy.
