beg button
Examples
“Pushing the “beg⟳ button” (so called as the pedestrian must request⟳ the signal) twice does not make⟳ it come⟳ faster or stay⟳ green longer. Ten, or a hundred, pedestrians do not make⟳ the “walk⟳” light⟳ come⟳ faster either. The beg⟳ button is often positioned out of the way, requiring the pedestrian to walk⟳ further than would otherwise be required. A few seconds here, a few seconds there, add⟳ up.”
“Minneapolis is banishing the “beg⟳ button” at hundreds of city intersections, automating the walk⟳ signs so pedestrians don’t have⟳ to touch⟳ a potentially germ-ridden surface.”
