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.
The lights to cross New Cross Road in front of the Morleys do this, they take an age to change and you need to keep checking the button as it will just turn itself off after a few minutes anyway. Think I've had to press it three times to get across before.
