There are pedestrian crossings that are not at an intersection but a straight road, where pressing the button does stop the cars for you to cross. There is no cycle, the cars have green until someone wants to cross

Yeah, that’s what I meant. I’ve seen those, there are a bunch in my parents neighborhood. I meant more at like a four way intersection. The button don’t do shit when traffic lights are timed.

And later at night in slower areas with less traffic, the more “main” road of the two intersecting will stay green until a car comes and stops at the red light on the less traveled road. In that instance, the crosswalk button might do something.
