Vienna adds same-sex couples to pedestrian traffic lights
(CNN)Vienna's streets just got a little more gay-friendly.
Austria's capital has reprogrammed 49 of its pedestrian traffic lights, replacing the gender-neutral figures with same-sex couples ahead of the Eurovision Song Contest, a competition that's popular with the international gay community.
The new lights show red and green same-sex couples -- both male and female -- accompanied by playful hearts.
The campaign is an effort to showcase Vienna's open-mindedness towards the LGBT community while improving traffic safety by drawing drivers' and pedestrians' attention to the traffic lights, according to the city's municipal lighting department.
