Inaccurate for (some of) Aarhus, Denmark. This is what some of our pedestrian crossing lights look like:

Germany also has a couple exceptions. The two that immediately come to mind are the Ampelmann (traffic light man) in Berlin and the Mainzelmännchen in Mainz.

the Ampelmann is not just in Berlin. It was standard across all of the GDR, but then they thought a bland sticj figure is more representative of peoples identity in capitalism so now more and more lights inthe east also have that generic sign

Huh, didn't know that. Booooo, I like the Ampelmann!

I think that's to loot and pillage.

Nah, we don't do that anymore. Any looting done in today's Denmark is the American way: multinational corporations and politicians pretending to be benevolent while being reverse Robin Hoods.

Better this way, every time someone walks towards Poland we have a new war.

Funny, but not true. The standing man icon is for the red light, the walking one is for green in poland, just like everywhere else.

So, seems obvious the image would be on a sign on the side of the road adjacent to the direction of travel, showing the figure walking towards the road into traffIc.

Then there are those that are backwards...

Russia is fleeing the war they started, Ukraine is chasing them down, Belarus is running to lick Putin's ass and Estonia is itching to kick Putin's ass. Poland is standing defiantly in the middle guarding between Assholeland and the West.

Then the Irish guy is clearly just drunk and stumbling backwards into the road. I can relate.

Norway’s seems the most casual. Everyone else (apart from Poland’s) looks they’re rushing or powerwalking, whereas Norway’s walker is just going for a stroll.

I propose a petition to flip the Ukrainian sign to the left. I'd rather be walking towards Poland (peacefully)

Nah, rather keep an eye on those to the right. You don't need to walk towards them, but I wouldn't turn.

And the Ukraine is chasing Russians back where they came from.

Correcting histories wrongs where everyone thought they had the right to walk into Poland.

If you knew about Poland's political situation you'd want to run too.
