Wellington, NZ, is to be the first place in the world to get transgender pedestrian lights. In honour of transgender Carmen Rupe, who grew up in New Zealand and later moved to Sydney. She died in 2011.
There will be four pedestrian lights set about her old haunts.
Carmen Rupe's return to Cuba St has been given the green light.
It was confirmed on Wednesday that the colourful transgender identity and gay rights advocate, who died in 2011, will be immortalised in four pedestrian crossing lights along her old haunt in central Wellington.
Despite being more familiar with red lights during her time in the capital, an image of Carmen will replace the green light that gives pedestrians right of way. Stuff NZ
