In #Wellington, #NZ, next to the parliament building, the walk icons are a silhouette of #NZ's most famous suffragist, Kate Sheppard, who helped secure the vote for women in 1893. How cool is that! #histodons #womensHist

@karawswanson What? So they made a critical safety mechanism less safe to put an unrecognizable silhouette in where a solid green light is needed?
What's wrong with a sign or a statue or a plaque or something?
@karawswanson Ohhh, that's where my confusion lies. I thought that was a regular traffic signal, not a pedestrian signal. Yeah, that makes more sense.
@LouisIngenthron that’s not how the Kiwi’s see it. They have a tradition of varying the shape of pedestrian signals and, to my used-to-#MassHoles eyes, are generally very pedestrian aware drivers. https://destinationeatdrink.com/wellingtons-pedestrian-crossing-signals/
