Viking Traffic Lights in Denmark

Århus, the second largest city in Denmark, lies on eastern side of the Jutland peninsula. Dating back to the Eighth Century AD, it is one of the oldest continuous settlements in the country.

The city leans into its Viking Era history. Atlas Obscura informs us that since 2019, some of the traffic lights in the city show axe and shield-bearing Norse warriors walking or standing still.
