Typology of Pedestrian Walking Symbols

@SimonRoyHughes Does it really? All intersections? I think I can see a silhouette in the light above, which seems confusing.
@Cassandra Not all intersections. As the alt text says, this one is in Trafalgar Square.

@Natasha_Jay since everyone has pointed out the missing Ampelmann, there's also the Hilversum and Tilburg cross walks with a jaunty ponytail
@th @Natasha_Jay Those shoes don’t look sensible road crossing shoes to me, but the wearer may be very proficient in them and comfortable crossing in such things.

http://www.coadesign.org/portfolio/walking-men/@Natasha_Jay You can imagine which cities may be car centric by looking at how the silhouettes are depicted:
The ones that look like being in a hurry tells the pedestrians: “Cars are waiting!!! Move your asses out of the way, peasants!” -
@elasticsoul please let those be real!

I am greatly enjoying the comments on this thread
@Natasha_Jay It seems only Saragossa has someone who looks vaguely female for any of these traffic signals….
