Based on my experience, the door close button seems to work as expected at my office. Press the button, and the doors close much more quickly than they usually do.
As for crossing buttons... generally they do work in the UK. It's just that if the crossing is in the middle of a normal road (read, where there's no reason for the lights to change automatically) it's required, whereas if the crossing is at a junction, it'll merely display the signal to cross whenever the lights would be set to change anyway.
- sushisource 4y agoThe reference to crossing buttons not working I found particularly annoying because my experience here in Seattle is, except at the busiest intersections, you do in fact need to press the buttons, otherwise the crosswalk won't show the walking man for you, even if traffic is in fact stopped in the relevant direction. (Of course, the article points out this was meant to be only about NYC) Particularly obnoxiously, if you are even a millisecond late in pressing the button (traffic just got the red light), you won't get the walking man until the next cycle. Infuriating.
