There are plenty of intersections where a walk signal comes on automatically, why do some intersections require a button push to initiate the walk signal when it doesn’t seem to make a difference in light timing or duration?

It does make a difference, it give more time to cross. The pedestrian lights will still change when the traffic allows but they won’t get the increased time, often times I have to run before the light changes. This keeps from holding up traffic lights when there’s no pedestrians there
