I wrote a blog post about Transport for NSW removing full automatic operation of the pedestrian buttons (aka "beg buttons") in the Sydney CBD, evaluating each of their stated reasons why.
You may recognise Australia's parking button sound from a sample in Billie Eilish's hit Bad Guy, I've linked a video at the end of the blog post!

- Someone 4y agoIn the first sentence (currently “Transport for NSW (TfNSW) has recently installed these around the Sydney CBD – a sticker on top of a pedestrian “beg button” explaining the button is redundant before 6am and after 10pm”) I think you mean it’s redundant between 6am and 10pm
- nhinck2 4y agoThere are two betweens.
- codetrotter 4y agoNo. "Between 6am and 10pm" means from 6am to 10pm. I.e. what the text on the sticker says. "Between 10pm and 6am" means from 10pm to 6am. I.e. what the blog post mistakingly says. There is no ambiguity in what "between" means when talking about hours of the clock.
- CoastalCoder 4y agoNot in the case of this idiom.
- jakecopp 4y agoCheers, this was a typo - just updated.
- roxgib 4y agoFellow Sydneysider here. I'm enjoying reading the other posts on your blog, glad to have discovered it!
