  • Does the button even do anything though?

    Pre-covid when you could touch stuff in public without feeling like you're risking your life, I still enjoyed holding the little knob underneath the box (not a euph) and waiting for it to spin when the green man comes on. Yes I am a child/no I am not blind.

  • My daughter actually told me about those things when she was 3! I guess she could see them and touched one when it was turning once. I never knew they existed.

    The two crossings I go through daily, the light wont go red unless the buttons is pressed. Its so hostile towards peds that it sometimes resets even if you have pressed the button.

    In an ideal world peds should get an automatic priority i.e. the moment ped arrives at lights the the light goes red, no delay, no buttons.

  • Urban ledge was if you spun that button you could make the lights change quicker

    I think it's just a stress relief button to make you feel like you are making progress when in reality nothing is happening.

    Almost the opposite to the door close button in a lift/elevator which when people press it you think 'man, you must be stressed. Just wait five seconds and it will close anyway'
