That’s not current so likely not part of the scope of the authors project. But it was still an interesting read so thanks for sharing.
It is current. Source: I live in Berlin.
Oh cool. The wiki suggested it was completely lost from modern use after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The Wikipedia article states that
[...]The protests were successful, and the Ampelmännchen returned to pedestrian crossings. They can now also be seen in some western districts of Berlin.[4] Some western German cities such as Saarbrücken[14] and Heidelberg[15] have since adopted the design for some intersections.
Ohhh I must have glossed over that part. Thank you
