Flashing women to be a traffic-stopper

The phrase 'you go, girl' will take on new meaning for pedestrians near Parliament when green flashing women replace men on traffic lights.

It would see the replacement of traffic lights in Aitken St so that green flashing women, instead of men, indicated when it was safe to cross the road.
