India’s Traffic Signals Have a Gender Bias?

Discover the surprising gender bias hidden in Indian traffic lights and how SpotGenie is reshaping road awareness with tech.

🚦 Opening Hook

Ever noticed that all traffic signal figures are male? Genie did, and now you can’t unsee it!

👀 Fact 1: The Male Silhouette

Across most Indian cities, pedestrian signals show a walking figure with distinctly male features — a relic of colonial-era iconography. Very few countries, like Germany and Australia, have adopted gender-neutral or female figures in select cities.

📊 Fact 2: Global Push for Inclusivity

Melbourne made headlines in 2017 for introducing female pedestrian lights to push gender equality. India is still catching up, though awareness is slowly growing in civic discussions.

🧞 Genie’s Take

"Hey urban thinkers, the roads reflect more than just traffic — they mirror society. Even a blinking light can blink back at our unconscious biases. Next time you cross the road, ask yourself who’s really being represented."
