      Where I am they do (Not-England). The pedestrian light will never go green unless someone presses the button so that cars don't wait for no reason. There are pressure pads under each intersection as well so that if no-one's there it won't go green (sucks if you're on a motorbike at night).

      Perhaps I have to say that I live in Boston, Mass, and most of them don't really work.

    This is really a developed world vs the developing world issue. I remember when I first took my wife to Germany she laughed at me for stopping the car at a red light.
    Later when she commented on how quickly we got through the city I told her that is because we follow law and order.
    The point of the light system is to actually move you around quicker... don't believe me travel the third world it can take 50mins to move 1 mile.

      Sure there is allways exception to the rule. Plus you can actualy get fined if the police see you break the law for 700 Dkr (slightly over 100$)
      Edit: Plus if you dont press the button, many places it wont change. So kinda importent, but mostly the smaller towns. But even our third biggest cities has button needing pushing for real or nothing changes.

      +SJGster It's A pelican crossing (previously Pelicon Crossing - PEdestrian LIght CONtrolled Crossing) that you need to press the button, the other crossing is a Zebra Crossing with flashing lights on the tops of poles and there is no button so you have to wait until the cars stop to allow you to cross, or just cross if there is no traffic. The ones that you don't need to press are the ones where the red and green man/men are automatically programmed into the sequence, these are usually at multi-junction lights.

    Here (ottawa canada) the button loudly beeps when you press it and a LED next to them turns red. They also trigger the stoplight as if you were a car on the stoplights that are timed to stay green in one direction until they detect traffic. Some will even refuse to enable the walking man signal until you press the button, for example a car could come up next to you and trigger the light, and it will only stay green for a very short time, not long enough to cross the street will not signal you to walk...

    Actually the button at zebras does something. If you don't press it, the pedestrian light will remain red indefinetely or the time it takes to change is 3-4-5x longer. In my country at least. The buttons are put on very busy roads, if the button is not pressed by a pedestrian it will always be green for the cars so the flow of trafic doesn't stop(I explained it the best I could, English is not my main language)
