The reason is because it is to cater for the people with disability for example sight & the only way for them to locate the button is by the sense of tou...

Do you think the button at the traffic light really works? Laughing

Some people dont think so. Like kind of pointless. Press liao "green man" can appear faster meh?

MooKu SG

If you don't press the big metal button, the green man will not come on even when the traffic light has turned red.

And for some roads with less traffic, the traffic light won't turn red unless you press the button.

venny SG

those cross junctions dont work one. cos they mainly to control traffic. but those normal traffic lights, yes, it will be faster if u press since its only for ppl to cross.

FireIce SG

for some junctions, if u dun press, the green man wun appear.....
though u can still cross but cars will horn at u......

Vigelic SG

If nobody press it (no red circle nxt to the button), the green man for side won't even appear.

However, some areas with a lot of ppl crossing they dont have a button for u to press cos they just assume there will be someone waiting to cross and will always give u green man anyway.

alan- SG

at hdb areas the button is quite effective.

try it at orchard or cbd, and i may say its faster to jaywalk.

SMRT Buses SG

the the big metal button found on traffic lights are there for a reason…

de_middle SG

only need to press once same as lift button...pressing many times doesn't speed up things Laughing

latenightmonster SG

It works. For the green man to come say hello.

but pressing many times wont make it come faster.

the scramble crossing at orchard road only activates once every half-hour from 7.30pm to midnight. Laughing

sunny6110 SG

de_middle SG

^tamago^ SG

venny SG

Mr.Penis SG

i oso dunno.

Laughing

BadzMaro SG

no.. the faster u prsss on the button repeatedly the faster it turns green. Laughing like how i see lots of ppl do... presseing the button frantically like button mashing in an arcade.

mancha SG

At light controlled pedestrian crossing on straight road.
Some people press the button, then cross when there is no traffic, and before the green man appears.
By the time the green man comes, and stop traffic. No one is crossing.

venny SG

common la. blame the traffic light lor. Mr. Green

Croaking_Toad SG

Try telling that to aunties and uncles on the street. They still want to press that big metal round button, even though it's been pressed by others. Perhaps they feel they are lucky or feel shiok from feeling that metal against their fingers. Rolling Eyes

alleggerita SG

Dunno where did they get this idea of pressing it more and faster, green man will appear faster.. Laughing

Same for lifts..this indian lady waiting for the lift beside me OBVIOUSLY saw me pressing the button already, but she still buey song, go up and keep pressing the blardy button until the lift finally reached the first floor..
