    I have similar thought processes as an adult pedestrian, and sometimes just cross without pressing the button because I’m not a child.

    Then sometimes I think “do i really want to be the idiot that got ran over 10ft away from the pedestrian crossing lights?”

      The more the traffic gets slowed down by pedestrians crossing, the more the city planners will look at the design of their intersections to improve safety.

      Always hit the button, even if you’re not going to wait for the light.
