I read somewhere that those buttons often do nothing at all. The lights run on the timer with the lights at the intersection. In these cases the buttons are there to let people think they have done something. Supposedly it makes them more patient
yes some don't do anything, but I would guess it is more due to retrofit then anything else (why make a hole cover for the post after the road was upgraded to smart lights that are synched to keep traffic flowing).
But on some it activates sound for blind people and in other's there is pedestrian crossing time only if the button is pushed.
