the dumb button for "activating" the signal is, 99% of the time, put in location that requires walking on uneven ground then thru some mud & finally to the curb where a vehicle's mirror (bus most likely) has a chance at knocking some sense into you during the process.
The amount of "tech" changes & associated costs that is put out for "improving" traffic conditions & safety should also include putting a separate pole that is much farther away from the roadway while being closer to the walkway for a safer purpose.
