Politicians in Berlin's central district want to modernise pedestrian crossings by adding a female companion to the iconic Ampelmann traffic light. The Social Democrat party is asking for an Ampelfrau to be introduced, to represent the self-assurance of the modern-day woman.

Social Democrat party leader Martina Matischok says: It's about equality. We don't want to replace the Ampelmann, we want to complete him.
