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?
I’ve seen intersections where the pedestrian crossing button delays turn signals. If the button is not pushed, the crossing signal stays red, and the turn lane gets to go right away.
Push the button and the turn lanes have to wait for the pedestrian crossing signal to end.
