Since 1987, the Adorno traffic light in Frankfurt has ensured safe pedestrian crossing over the Senckenberganlage. Named after philosopher Theodor W. Adorno, it protects those moving between the Bockenheim Campus and the Institute for Social Research. The traffic light was installed after Adorno's persistent requests to prevent accidents.
