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.
