<p>BASEL, Switzerland (AP) — Law-abiding pedestrians wait for the green woman kicking a soccer ball before they cross the road during the Women's European Championship.</p>
<p>Authorities in the Swiss city of Basel have installed 12 of the altered pedestrian crossing lights at locations frequented by soccer fans while the country hosts the nearly month-long tournament.</p>
<p>Some are located near the soccer stadium, others near the train station.</p>
<p>"They will stay until the end of the Women's Euro — maybe even a few days longer," says Nicole Ryf-Stocker, spokeswoman for Basel's transport department.</p>
<p>Ryf-Stocker said the idea and design was provided by the St. Gallen civil engineering department, while the lights were manufactured by the same company that manufactures Basel's traffic lights.</p>
<p>"We thought the idea was fantastic and were allowed to use it," she said.</p>
<p>Basel will host the final on July 27 among other games.</p>
