Do the buttons you push to cross the street really do anything?

Here is how I think it works.\n\nThe Pedestrian Stoplights and Traffic Stoplights have set schedules. For example, the traffic light and pedestrian light have a 3:1 minute ratio. Let's pretend the schedule starts at 12:00, the traffic light will be green from 12:00 to 12:03. Then the pedestrian light will be green from 12:03 to 12:04. The cycle continues: 12:04-12:07 is Traffic while the pedestrian is 12:07-12:08.\n\nNow I assume the pedestrian traffic light button has like an "idle function". For example, maybe if the button isn't pressed after 45 seconds then it becomes idle and the (12:03-12:04 section) will remain the green for traffic light. However, lets say you press the button at 12:05, the pedestrian light will not turn green until 12:07 because pressing the button doesn't change the light but brings it off idle and into the schedule.\n\nNow I didn't research this, it's just my assumption. I just thought about it a lot from standing at pedestrian light buttons a lot.  :)

Did your "s" button break?

Absolutely. The "stop and go" is commonly practised.

Yes, but pay close attention to the signs as which side of the bridge is being used for bicycles can change. Bike traffic is generally on the opposite side of foot traffic and both are separated from auto traffic by a guard rail.

in most places, pedestrians have the right away so they think you have to stop for them.  This is the wrong thought.\n\nI just speed up....that teaches them to look next time.  Unless of course, I hit them.

You must be careful when doing this. If you are standing in the street /road you can get a ticket for obstructing traffic. You must be on the shoulder/curb to be out of traffic.

You can play an old street game called "Kick The Can" =-)

Uh, by definition, no. \n\nThis is like asking "Can I make an illegal right turn if I stay on the couch in my basement." The conditions make the result impossible.

Have you tried clicking on the UK flag on the bottom?

Oh, I'm so glad I'm not the only person who gets irritated by that!\n\nI agree with Carrie on the crossing thing too...\nHate it when you're stood at the crossing having pushed the button and someone else comes along and pushes it. Like they don't trust you to have done it properly! Or thought that maybe you hadn't even pushed it at all and didn't understand how crossings work! \nIt drives me mental!

Don't let it cross the road?

Yes. I went in an electric cart that had a GPS and it tracked how far you were from certain hazards, the green, and it told you where other carts were so you didn't hit the people.\n\nThe electric carts are also better for the environment.

Some do.  I know of many that change for when a car gets in the left turn lane. \n\nI also know of some that stay green on the main street, and change ONLY when a car cames up to the side street.\n\nAlso, these sensors may only be running after hours. (Rush Hour)

It's the L button I think.\n\n\nPS: Recategorize this question under: "Games and Recreation - Video Games"
