Munich, Germany, has introduced a gay couples’ version of the city’s traffic lights.

The new lights installed at pedestrian crossings show gay, lesbian and heterosexual couples waiting patiently together at the signals, or crossing the road, hand-in-hand.

The city council decided to update the pedestrian traffic lights ahead of Saturday’s Gay Pride parade, reported Pink News.

The measure was launched by Germany’s Green party politicians, who overcame resistance from the Christian Social Union’s council members to install these traffic lights.

A total of around €10,000 was spent on the project, reported Lenta.

But the special panes bearing the outlines of the “happy couples” are removable, meaning that they can be replaced with a more conventional one.
