Green man traffic signal replaced by woman at pedestrian crossings in London
While some icons wear heels, others wear jackets and flat shoes
Why did the Londoner do a double-take as they crossed the road?
To look at the new traffic light designs of course.
Transport for London has unveiled a series of new icons at crossings across the capital.
Rather than the traditional image of a person wearing a dress to signify gender, the signals feature a range of women in different shapes and sizes.
The specially designed symbols veer away from the common narrow representations of women and showcase a range of females from high-heeled, bun wearing ladies to bobbed- haired, jacket-wearing individuals.
