Berlin's Green Party Advocates for Rainbow Crosswalk at Checkpoint Charlie

The Greens propose maintaining the unique all-direction pedestrian light and adding a rainbow design to promote diversity.

Berlin's Green Party is pushing to keep the all-direction pedestrian light at Checkpoint Charlie, allowing pedestrians to cross in any direction during the green phase.
The party plans to propose a rainbow crosswalk at the site as a symbol of Berlin's commitment to diversity and inclusivity.
The proposal will be formally presented in the state parliament session later this week.
The Berlin traffic administration is skeptical of the current light system, citing increased wait times and potential conflicts with cyclists.
The Greens argue that preserving the light and adding the rainbow design would enhance pedestrian safety and promote a welcoming environment.
