Traffic signals in the capital will change temporarily for Edinburgh Pride and be replaced with a range of diversity images.
The designs, which represent gay, lesbian, trans and straight relationships using recognised gender symbols, will feature on 35 lights in the city.
Edinburgh Pride will march from Parliament to the Meadows on Saturday. The signs will be removed by Siemens Mobility once the parade is finished and the roads reopen to traffic.
We're delighted to be helping to display these diversity symbols through the Old Town as part of this year's pride festival,” said Karen Doran, Edinburgh City Council’s transport and environment convener.
"We're proud to be an LGBT-friendly council and these special traffic signals drive home our message - we welcome everyone to our city."
Wilke Reints, managing director of Siemens Mobility's Intelligent Traffic Systems, added: "Diversity and inclusion is very important to us and our employees, and this is a great example of a simple idea having a major impact."
