Did you know that a traffic light can also be a piece of art? This article looks at crosswalk lights as eye-catching architectural units that draw attention and attract tourists.
Just for a Change
In April 2007, 50 of Prague’s green/red -man pedestrian crossing lights were replaced with “more inspiring” versions: one could see the green man drinking, urinating or dancing. They say Prague’s municipality weren’t too pleased about it; a 100000 CZK (over $5500) fine was imposed for that initiative.

The Traffic Light Tree is an artwork by artist Pierre Vivant, set up in the traffic control roundabout in 1998, in London.
The Sculpture imitates the natural landscape of the adjacent London Plane Trees, while the changing pattern of the lights reveals the never ending rhythm of the surrounding domestic, financial and commercial activities.
