Long one of my pet peeves, I also fume at the amount of money we waste on installing, maintaining, and fixing these buttons - even the purely ornamental ones. At the very ,, very least, the signs should automatically turn to 'walk' when they WOULD were the button pressed. Instead often the walk signal will remain red unless it is pushed (and sometimes, you must push it before the car traffic signal goes, otherwise you still must wait even if otherwise you'd be 'allowed' to go).
The bane of my existence, and to read such a well penned screed a comfort in knowing others too object to the tyranny of those stubby, disease laden, fault-prone knobs.
This is superb. And unnervingly relatable in a small Scottish town (one that birthed the founder of Buick, and adopted the automobile at the expense of a walkable community 🤦)
Bravo!!!!
