That’s not current so likely not part of the scope of the authors project. But it was still an interesting read so thanks for sharing.

Oh cool. The wiki suggested it was completely lost from modern use after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The Wikipedia article states that

[...]The protests were successful, and the Ampelmännchen returned to pedestrian crossings. They can now also be seen in some western districts of Berlin.[4] Some western German cities such as Saarbrücken[14] and Heidelberg[15] have since adopted the design for some intersections.
