This is as awesome as the transgender symbols on the walk signs there.

This was near Trafalgar Square. I was going somewhere, came up to a crosswalk, and there it was!

I wonder if they are permanent or just for campaigns?

I was there in November 2019, so it wasn’t for LGBT Pride month.

“TfL has previously reflected diversity at pedestrian traffic signals and introduced designs to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community around Trafalgar Square in 2016 and green woman traffic signals at 20 locations across London in 2021.”

That’s really awesome that they’re bringing more awareness and representation to disabled access. Even small things like that can really make a difference in inclusion and visibility.
