Xiaoluren
Xiaolüren (Hsiao-lu-jen; ; "Little Green Man"; officially , "Pedestrian Countdown Display") is an animated traffic light system in Taiwan.〔(Transportation Bureau, Taoyuan County Government )〕 It was first implemented in Taipei City, between Songshou Road and Songzhi Road, in 1999,〔(Liberty Times )〕 and came into widespread use around the country within a few years.
The light displays an image of a small green man wearing a hat walking, animated in seven frames at varying speed to suggest relative urgency. It is used in some parts of Spain as well, specially Seville, where it is accompanied by a countdown screen advising pedestrian of time remaining before the light turns. A similar figure as a crossing signal first appeared in East Berlin in 1961 and gained the local nickname Ampelmännchen, but was static rather than animated.
==Urban legends==
There are a number of urban legends associated with the Xiaoluren in Taiwan, with the most popular version being that the figure will fall down every 20,000 steps,〔(Epoch Times )〕 or when the traffic becomes too busy. Other urban legends are that the Xiaoluren would turn sideways or walk upside down from time to time to fool the pedestrians.
