crosswalk button
Street-crossing activator
A crosswalk button is the pedestrian-activated switch at intersections that signals a request to cross.
Pressing it triggers or extends the walk signal.
Whether these buttons actually affect signal timing varies—some are functional, others are placebo buttons that do nothing but give pedestrians something to do while waiting.
