Worse yet, at least in Somerville and the general Boston area, I'm seeing touch-sensitive buttons instead of physical buttons that depress--with no haptic feedback; and only some of them play a recorded "Wait" when you press.
I'm gradually training myself not to jam my finger painfully against them to be "sure" I pressed.
If it turns out they're also placebos, I think I'm just going to give one a good kick next time I go by...
- mxwsn 8y agoIn the same area; don't those have a visual light indicator that flashes when you press it?
- r_klancer 8y agoThere's some kind of light but I've never quite understood what the light means.
- laken 8y agoThose aren't placebo buttons, rather for the hard of sight. The audible "Wait" is to tell to not cross yet, and it will then tick when it's safe to cross, and increasingly tick faster the time lowers.
