Worth pointing out that the Ampelmann is such a cultural icon in Berlin, there are stores where you can buy merchandise of the crosswalk man/woman logos: https://www.ampelmann.de/en/ https://www.ampelmann.de/en/ As an Aussie tourist in Berlin I once crossed the street against the Ampelmann, and to this day I remember the audible "tut tuts" and disgust of the German locals around me at my actions. Lesson learned: Respect the Ampelmann. (On the flipside, I remember once talking to a Kenyan on a bus here in Australia, he was horrified that Australians were such mindless robots & so eager to follow government rules that we would even wait for a crosswalk light to tell us when to walk and when to stop.)
