    My city surprisingly set ones up at certain intersections, where the walk lights won’t change UNLESS you hit the button. Had to get back in the habit of pressing them again

      Fun fact, those are dangerous as fuck! Drivers just straight up don’t see lights that don’t regularly change.

        There’s a crosswalk near me that is normally a flashing green light when you drive past it.

        I still have no idea what to do at a flashing green light. What are you trying to tell me?

        I think the lights change (for cars) but the walk signals specifically don’t activate unless someone pushes the button.

        I hate those so so much.

          Ohhh. There is one near my house that is literally only a pedestrian cross light. It’s off 90% of the time. Cars blow right through it constantly with kids in the road.
