At my university in Berlin, students, desiring an easy connection between two major parts of the campus, painted a crosswalk across the "Straße des 17. Juni"[0] every day. And every day police would come and remove it.[1]
This went on until finally the government relented and there's now a permanent pedestrian crossing with signal lights.[2]

- kiliantics 4y agoI love Berlin for how people really own their democracy and freedom there by taking it into their own hands and living it, not just talking about it while the government silently removes all their rights as happens in the US.
- boruto 4y agoIs there anyway to request for a cross walk or a light in Berlin. There is a street near my house, would like to apply if it is straight forward
