This Cross With Pride crossing also features a Rainbow Canopy, replicating the colours of the Cross With Pride crossing.

The artwork is based on the Progress flag which adds a chevron and extra colours to the traditional rainbow flag. The eleven colours are important as it reflects the diverse drag community in the city.
