While travelling in Germany, I got to know the man in the pedestrian lights has a name: Ampelman (Ampelmännchen). The fact that they gave it a name - no wonder it’s a touchy topic for them.

In Britain he has roughly as much of a name: the Green Man (or the Red Man), as in "wait for the Green Man" said to a child.
