On 11 May 2015 , before the Life Ball and the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna ( Austria ) the city changed some traffic lights to " Ampelpärchen " , these are designs with homo - and heterosexual couples , hugging or holding hands . In June 2015 , Salzburg ( at Staatsbrücke ) and Linz ( at Mozartkreuzung ) followed suit with the same designs . However , in December 2015 a city traffic minister of the party FPÖ dismounted the privately sponsored faceplates , deeming them unnecessary .
