When I was in Wellington, New Zealand, I was entranced by their unusual crosswalk icons. I asked my new friends there about them. I was told a story about a drag performer and activist by the name of Carmen Rupe. She was a trans woman who was also Māori (native people of NZ).
@markwyner I really like this ideas of drag trafic lights. 💃🕺👯
It brings some fun into our routine.
I also love it when smiley faces are drawn on trafic lights. I've seen this in several French cities.
It's crazy how a few lines can light up my day. #streetart#tags#traficLights
