In my town, the lights are on a timer until 6pm. The beg buttons only work after 6pm
There is a literal highway that splits around the town though, so it kinda makes sense that they’re on a timer otherwise you’d have people being assholes in stop/start.
Main Street is pedestrian priority at least, so all traffic yields at crosswalks
in my town they just reveal whether or not the cycle has allowed you to cross. they could remove the buttons completely and it would be more efficient. death 2 amerikkka
yes, sometimes no. depends on the intersection and how it’s programmed. It’s pretty easy to tell in practice.
for example, at most crossings in my city if the button is not pressed the pedestrian signal will not change from “don’t walk” at the next signal cycle. and the signal might never cycle if the button is not pressed and there are no cars waiting at the Red.
do these do anything
