The elevator "open" button actually serves a very useful purpose. Rather than holding a hand in front of the sensors to keep the door open, you can hold the button. This helps if a slow-moving disabled person is approaching an elevator or if you're loading the elevator with multiple trips of furniture or groceries. The door won't close and move on so you don't have to resummon it.
Number 6 is completely wrong, in England, Manchester, where I'm from, the lights are only triggered if the button is pressed, and I'm guessing that is the same for other areas around England.
+iCannoNz Completely agree it's too much of a generalisation as it totally depends on what type of lights have been fitted and what their purpose is. Sometimes it might seem to do nothing but actually will extend a red light on one part of a large junction to allow people to cross without chancing it and running across. Sometimes it will turn the lights red immediately. And sometimes it does actually do nothing because the bloody button is broken :oD
cwwhg Yeah I get that. But I'm just saying that in my area every button triggers the lights, where I live we don't need the automated lights so literally every single set ahas a button, and they only work if the button is pressed. but I understand about the different types of lights for different situations bit
Yes. Play the classical music instead. It works at least as well, and doesn't get people mad. As far as a test of high-frequency hearing, until a few years ago, there was one just about everywhere, the sound of the "flyback transformer" in a CRT-based television set. If you could hear that a TV was on, even with the volume turned all the way down, your high-frequency hearing was pretty good. Today's LCD TVs don't make that noise, which is probably just as well.
same. I can still hear the TV noise. one time, I heard a high-pitched noise coming from somewhere around me, which I couldn't place. I cleared all of my electronics, but it wasn't something in my house, it was coming from outside. I went out, followed the noise, and tracked it to the warehouse behind my house. I thought "meh... maybe some motion sensor malfunctioning" sure enough, not a minute later, the police showed up. motion alarm, inside a warehouse, behind my back wall, with me inside the house. now THAT is hearing.
If you play a loud noise depending where you live it could be classed as noise pollution or causing a public disturbance. I would say these fit into that illegal category. They could also effect various other species as well which I am very much against. They are not cool.
@GamerKnight = u r bagging someone out for writing "u" instead of "you" and say they sound like a kid. I write "u" ALOT in my comments, and I definatly are not a kid. in ur second response, what does "asure" mean? and in ur last response, instead of writing "please" u write "plz" twice. also, "saying" only has 1 "g". b4 u bag out other people, make sure u aren't calling the kettle black.
The 'mosquito' sound pisses me off because I'll be 32 in four months and I can still hear that sound more sharply than most younger people, it seems. An alleyway I have to frequently pass through has the damn noise playing and I'd be shocked if my ears ever cease to be able to hear it loud and clear. I additionally don't like the fact that an adult who can't hear it has decided it's suitable to subject other sets of ears to. Children have to use this alleyway every day and the noise isn't only painful* when exposed to it for minutes on end - it's immediately painful thus meaning everyone gets the brunt of it even if they're not loitering. It's a shitty way to treat children and young people, so no wonder it's popular. _*there's no accurate word in our language - it's not pain but 'discomfort' is too soft_
RiC David I 15, don't get involved with any gang or lurking crap and the mosquito is the only thing that makes me want to destroy and/ deface said object. it is honestly the worst invention ever, it pisses me off beyond anything else
RiC David Since you're 32 and since children are actually required to use the alley, I think you have a solid case for a complaint on your hands. Is it privately owned or government owned? You could lodge a complaint, and maybe even take it to court if you have to.
The pedestrian button may be a placebo in some places somewhere, however I was involved in traffic light control in my late teens and the code was in PLC logic. The button press was coded to behave as though traffic in one junction was waiting at a red light, thus triggering an early timer for changing the set and adding extra time for crossing at the junction the button was pressed at. It worked that way because one junction may be a lot quieter than the other, thus resulting in a long wait to cross the road if you had no way to shorten that time. Traffic lights, unless phasing is altered remotely by the traffic division of the council, will favour the busy junction, constantly trying to keep busy traffic flowing. They are quite sophisticated in terms of programming.
Here in Florida the walk signal buttons do actually work. If you don't press one the signal light will NEVER turn on. But drivers completely ignore them and will run you down even if the signal is activated and you are in the cross walk. The cross walk nearest my home has had three fatal hit and run murders in the last three years all due to drivers believing they had a legal obligation to summarily execute anyone caught in a crosswalk. Only two have been caught and the third is still at large. They should install spikes that come up out of the pavement when the walk signal is activated. They should rise up around 18 inches so they don't just pop tires but destroy engines, exhausts and transmissions. If your car is damaged as a result it's an automatic suspension of license and a year in jail since the only way that could happen is if you broke the law. I'm sick of my neighborhood being the playing field for a giant game of "let's kill all pedestrians."
I agree completely with you I feel crosswalks should have brighter lights around them and I'm tired of almost getting hit or run over because impatient mofos who just speed infront of you as you try to walk across or even if you are already halfway across, "I think I'm important ppl", driving and texting and mofos who just don't give a fuck and speed thru or run the red lights and don't slow down or look before driving and don't turn with indicators.
In larger towns they occasionally assume people are there and change without input and locally in Florida there's a light that will change the next light in the cycle with only pushing one. It happens to be right in front of the police station too
BadRep true if your on a Motercycle in the us the light won't sense that your there so you'll have to either wait until a car pulled up or go push the walk button to go
BadRep there's a small suburb. Well think more of an inner city setting of minorities and refugee/immigrant ghetto but outside the main city... Anyway, about 15 years ago they did away with a kinda dangerous traffic intersection right in the main square that gets f-ing heavy with traffic and retrofitted it with the most screwed up rotary in existence. It's kind of an oblong square with confusing entrance points, and some exit points that go into parking lots that look like the Main Street bc that's what they were before the change. And it's slanted on a big dumb hill Well about 10 years ago there used to be a random stoplight right in the middle of it for pedestrians that would flip to red faster than a normal traffic light if it even detected a person near the crosswalk, which ran straight through the rotary. It was really annoying. My first time ever being pulled over was bc I ran that red. Also, I was trying to navigate this newfangled weird rotary that was unlike any I've ever seen before behind the wheel of damn tractor trailer. I was about 19 or so and worked for a small time distributor. I still drive truck to this day, although a pulp mill convinced me to work for them and now I'm not and regretting it. Sorry for the long ass comment with random subjects all over the place.
BadRep it depends on the crossing type. A crossing that is placed across a carriage way not at a junction will be button activated since the lights never need to change other than to let people cross. However at for example a four way junction eventually one set of lights will have to turn red and thus allowing people to cross when it does so and doesn't actually require a button
It's actually illegal for elevator door close and open buttons to be fake. The open button tends to do the same as the IR door blockage sensor in the door and stop the door from closing, while the close button does nothing. So why is it illegal for a button that does nothing to be fake, you may wonder. Well, the functions named only apply to normal operations! In firefighter operations, the door MUST be opened and closed manually by (you guessed it) the open and close buttons! When the elevator is in that mode, there is literally no other way!
Zoë Rae To think it would be common sense that elevators without motion sensors or open and close buttons would be illegal but not everyone has had there hand stuck in one (before it was illegal) to see the obvious danger and others.
Pedestrian crossings in London do NOT have placebo buttons. At pedestrian crossings in New York, there doesn't necessarily have to be a guarantee that all traffic crossing your path while it is green for pedestrians is breaking the law. There is in London. Crossings have a green light for pedestrians parallel to the traffic being allowed through. In London, crossings typically have a phase for pedestrians. If no-one pushes the button, they will skip the pedestrian phase. The only reason why it looks like it is a placebo is because if you don't push the button, the chances are that someone else will, except late at night. There is no advantage to the crossing going green for pedestrians if no-one has pushed the button. British lift door close buttons are generally not placebos, but American ones are required to not work for 5 seconds. We used to have placebo buttons on our trams in London, but they removed them recently.
I always thought it was because they were part of the standard design (many tram networks in Germany use them) & TfL hadn't bothered to ask Bombardier to omit them.
I was on holiday in the gold coast Australia and in one mall they had a mosquito and it was really irritating but my parents had no idea what I was talking about. I hated it.
Yes, the lights are controlled by a timer, but the "Press to cross" button adds a one-shot change to the sequence. Sensors just below the road surface at a side street that doesn't deserve a green light every minute also add a change for the occasional car waiting.
i live in texas mine is the same way although to go from the bus stop to my apartment or vice versa since there is essentially no traffic on the intersecting road but a lot on the main one the crossing button actually does change the signal otherwise it would take FOREVER to go as the main road timer is the longest ive ever seen
Placibo buttons is an urban myth. If a "Press to cross" button fails, it has become faulty and should be reported to city works department. In my town where I often walk, all "Press to cross" buttons that I've tried do work.
Zahid Nisrin so glad I live in Yorkshire, our traffic light systems work on a liop like eveywhere else and if you do want to cross the road you have to press the button, doesn't stop the traffic instantly but there is a point in the loop where it will give time for pedestrians to cross... also provided your not walking through town on the day of a football match you can pretty much guarantee your safe to cross lol
I consider 'Pepto Bismol Pink' (as shown in the video) the ugliest and most obnoxious shade of pink ever. I don't find it calming, in fact it triggers intense irritableness in me, a complete 180 of what they are after. It literally makes me want to deck someone. In fact it gives me a screaming headache. Seafoam/pale green is far more calming. Most greens are calming to most people. Except electric lime 'dayglow' green or the chromakey 'green screen' color in photo shoots. I get a romping headache from them in a very small amount of time too. Most 'dayglow' colors hit me just like this.
and how many of your friends Andy also like classical music? I'd guess not many, maybe 1 out of 50, or even 100. Anyhow, that doesnt matter, ur unique and good for u!!!
And I doubt you feel the need to express yourself by spray painting a wall or smashing something.. I don't think your the kind of person they are looking to deter. Props if your a good person. But not if your just craycray and waiting for the opportunity to light the whole place ablaze or watch it go up in a catastrophic explosion!! ... ... ... not that I'm that kinda person ... ...
CLICKBAIT.. Also my Dad's an road engineer so number 6 is obviously bull, the button tells the traffic computer that somebody wants to cross, it may or may not influence it, depending on traffic flow.
Yep, there's also special paver blocks that are brightly coloured with different textures to assist as well. There's "chirping" alarms to cross the street to direct guide dogs.
Yeah I live in South London and all the crossings nearby me will only go green for pedestrians if you press the button, even the bigger junctions. The reason is, I presume, why waste time for people crossing the road if there is no-one who wants to cross?
The mosquito heavily backfired in some cities here in switzerland as they forgot how many pet dogs were around. They uninstalled all of their mosquitoes within 2 weeks.
Actually, in the town that I live if you don't push the button the light crossing never changes. While the close door button in an elevator may be bullshit (I have no knowledge either way) the open button is absolutely not it's how you hold the door when you need it open for longer then the timer keeps it open or if you need it to open back up if it starts closing.
Yeah, here, crosswalk buttons may or may not make the light change faster (depending on the button), but they do change the amount of time that is given when it does change, to allow pedestrians to cross busy streets where they would give cars less time. I've had the sensor loops in the street not pick up that my motorcycle was above them. I didn't want to get a ticket in Beverly Hills, so I got off the bike and walked over to press the button.
There's a traffic crossing near to where i live that if you press it it practically immediately halts traffic and you can cross. So clearly not all of them are like the one described.
Spectre. A company got an award for this idea in Nov 2016. Their website just mentions the idea again. AFAIK, there has been no actual further work on it.
the crosslight (number 6) isnt fake, the traffic light runs with a sequence using PLC ladder logic program which i took in college. When the sequence is running the program notices when you pressed the button, when the sequence is done then you can cross the road...
Hate to break it to you but we have crosswalks here that if you DON'T push the button you're never going to cross. If you were to put me in a pink cell you'd better bring reinforcements when you come to take me out, I find pink to be extremely irritating.
In Detroit, if you dont press the walk button, the traffic lights change but the crossing lights dont, hence you get in trouble, if seen by an officer, for walking against the signal.
In Sweden, if you don't press the button to cross the road, the light won't turn green. It will become red for cars, but it won't turn green for pedestrians. Instead it will shorten the time that the red light is on for cars. We do have some automatic ones as well. They still have the small box, but not the buttons.
no crosswalks in Canada are automatic. if u do not press the walk button u Will never get a walk light., neither are elevator close or open door buttons I used to work installing elevators here in Canada, ones I didn't install I timed and door opens or closes faster with button.
While some buttons on crossings may be BS. Ones I often use actually have a secondary feature. They activate handicap features. Telling you to wait and to cross and also what street you are crossing. It’s nice
Elevator "Close door" buttons are usually superfluous but not fake. The door closes automatically, usually 3 seconds after nothing is sensed by the infrared beam. Some do work. If the beam is set for 7 seconds and you press the "Close door" button immediately after the last person enters or leaves, the door will close immediately. You may wonder why the beam has a delay. It's to allow for elderly or other slow folks to have a chance to get in or out. A multi-level retirement residence would have a longer delay set for the automatic closing.
I think the delay of these buttons is useless. At least in my country no one presses the close button if there is still someone who wants to enter the elevator. Many people even press the open button in this case.
I always chuckle at walk buttons...especially when people pound on them!! My goofy hubby thinks if he flashes his brights, the light will change right away! When they do, it's "See-told ya!!", when they don't, "They're broke!". Whatever makes him happy and makes me laugh, no harm.
@@hasans7370 as a canadian i can confirm that on most traffic lights if you dont press the button, the pedestrian stop sign doesnt change to allow traffic to flow more freely.
giving the people a false sense of feeling like they are in control? i believe that is what governments all over the world has been doing for centuries..
The traffic buttons do something depending on where you live. German pedestrian crossings are that way. You press them and the pedestrian lights activate, without pressing you get simply no green light for pedestrians ever. There are some different button style things installed in similar places on crossings, but they are for blind people and the crosswalk activates a sound for the lights(working only if you wear a special device). We don't have any fake buttons here. Bus stop buttons for example make a bus stop in rural areas at the next bus stop(he would not otherwise if no one is waiting) or the driver is forced to open the door or he could not move with his street car(he can also open it anyway if he want to, but he won't in the winter for example). The other somewhat famous example is the close the door button in elevators. Maybe it does nothing in the US, but if you (very rarely) see one in Germany it works! No one would press a fake button here, because most people would never press it (if you ever waited on a German crosswalk without checking if the button was pressed by someone already waiting there you would know.)
p51mustang24 Having attractions and pursuing a relationship with the same sex has been known for centuries.

4:45 elevator buttons arent placebo. The door close button works, just not in a way the public usually needs to use it, or knows. I used it in my old job. Needed to get to the top floor without stopping at other floors inbetween. Hold the floor number+the door close button until you arrive. It will skip the elevator lobbies inbetween even if they have pushed the call button. The computer will skip the trigger and keep going to the floor requested. Otherwise, it might be faster taking the stairs to get to a top floor emergency. This is easier to use than it can be for someone to find another person with an elevator override key. I never even KNEW who had those keys except the FD. All the nurses, docs, and guards knew this override because when I worked there. There was no separate elevator for doctors and emergencies. We used that function instead, and guests got to learn something new everytime we did it. They did eventually designate one elevator as medical/emergency use only though. The function still exists none the less. The button will not simply close the doors just because you pushed it though, unless it isn't up to code. This seems to be causing all these informative posts/vids to spread false info. Person in charge says the function doesn't work ever since the 90s and handicap laws. Made it so you can't close the doors sooner than programmed, so the handicapped can't be cut off. But this is a button with MULTIPLE functions. That's why they still exist in some elevators. Elevators without this function, typically don't have the button available at all. I am sure there is still 1 or 2 other shortcuts it is used for as well that most don't know about. If there are a lot of floors, I see this button and I still use it lol.
Jackie C I don’t think people would be more happy. Think of people getting road rage because some idiot won’t get off of the thing and let the cars pass.
To the 50 or so comments saying "..I live in [insert country of origin] and the crosswalk button works..", he never said ALL crosswalk buttons are placebos. I went and double-checked.
A lot of the time in Australia, if you don’t press the pedestrian walk button, the traffic lights will of course still change, but the green man won’t flash and cars don’t have to give way. It can also mean that the light sequence is shorter because it doesn’t have to allow time for people to cross. It can be annoying when you come to a crossing and someone is already there, so you don’t press the button because you assume they have already, and pushing the button while they’re standing there suggests you think they’re a moron who hasn’t pushed the button, but then it turns out they ARE a moron and you miss the sequence and have to wait through a whole other set of lights. Then there’s the opposite end of the spectrum where people push the button repeatedly thinking that makes a difference. One push will do it, my friend.
I noticed that in China, EVERY "Close door" button gets pressed at every floor level. This is a 100% habit for Chinese. I used to put my finger up one inch from the button and tell the other folks that I could send a magic signal to the button without actually touching it. The door would close at 3 seconds by the infrared sensor, not the button. This usually got a laugh.
It's true about the classical music keeping undesirables away... A friend bought a bar that had a lot of "undesirables " in it, they used to play a lot of heavy metal and country... So he started playing classical and turned up the lights, got plants and painted it brighter and attracted more office people....
Ahem Ahem, young ppl don't like classical music. about 70% of my classmates blasts whatever classical music on their computers when school ends every day.
Jail was bad enough, but I'm goth. I'm almost 100% sure that if my cell had been painted pink I would have killed myself, or an other inmate. I don't think that has the same effect on everyone.
The buttons actually do work. they act like the magnetic detection strips under the car Lanes. sometimes an intersection mostly gets traffic in one way, so unless it's pushed, it won't switch. other places have a special sequence for pedestrians only that can only be activated by the button. The problem is people think the button is supposed to instantly work, when really it just puts it in the next cycle
If that dancing across the street thing doesn't lead to pissing someone off to the point he snaps from just catching someone on the wrong day I will truly be amazed.
The traffic button tells the lights that people want to cross, if you don't press the button you wont get the walk sign. The light will change for a few seconds so the other cars can go, but then will turn back not letting anyone cross. If you press the button you get the walk sign. If you are at a cross walk and the light turns but you don't get the walk sign its because you didn't press the button. At least that how it works where I live, never been to New York.

The button on a crosswalk isn't to make the light change, it makes it so you actually have time to cross the street when the light does change. It's most noticeable at night when there is no traffic. For example, where I live if you cross the highway without pressing the button BEFORE the light changes (as in, pressing it while WAITING, not as you are crossing) you won't even make it a quarter of the way before you have traffic coming at you. At night, there is no pedestrian crosswalk timer at all UNLESS you press the button. It isn't timer based outside the traffic of daytime, it is based on the number of cars crossing the intersection. If no cars cross, the green light only lasts a second. Even in the day time, if you don't press the button you will never have a pedestrian cross signal, you will only have the Hand symbol signifying do not cross. Maybe it is different in other countries, but from my perspective that is irresponsibley dangerous misinformation you are spreading.
oddly enough the color pink annoys me and when i am in an all pink room i get anxious and often times i get angry. light blue on the other hand calms me down and makes me happy.

It worked that way because one junction may be a lot quieter than the other, thus resulting in a long wait to cross the road if you had no way to shorten that time. Traffic lights, unless phasing is altered remotely by the traffic division of the council, will favour the busy junction, constantly trying to keep busy traffic flowing. They are quite sophisticated in terms of programming.

Here in Florida the walk signal buttons do actually work. If you don't press one the signal light will NEVER turn on. But drivers completely ignore them and will run you down even if the signal is activated and you are in the cross walk. The cross walk nearest my home has had three fatal hit and run murders in the last three years all due to drivers believing they had a legal obligation to summarily execute anyone caught in a crosswalk. Only two have been caught and the third is still at large. They should install spikes that come up out of the pavement when the walk signal is activated. They should rise up around 18 inches so they don't just pop tires but destroy engines, exhausts and transmissions. If your car is damaged as a result it's an automatic suspension of license and a year in jail since the only way that could happen is if you broke the law. I'm sick of my neighborhood being the playing field for a giant game of "let's kill all pedestrians."
I agree completely with you I feel crosswalks should have brighter lights around them and I'm tired of almost getting hit or run over because impatient mofos who just speed infront of you as you try to walk across or even if you are already halfway across, "I think I'm important ppl", driving and texting and mofos who just don't give a fuck and speed thru or run the red lights and don't slow down or look before driving and don't turn with indicators.
Good idea but unfortunately it wont make them from crushing innocents on other roads we should hav them everywhere
In larger towns they occasionally assume people are there and change without input and locally in Florida there's a light that will change the next light in the cycle with only pushing one. It happens to be right in front of the police station too

The button placebo isn't that true... there are many nearby me and the lights only change if it is pressed.
BadRep true if your on a Motercycle in the us the light won't sense that your there so you'll have to either wait until a car pulled up or go push the walk button to go
BadRep there's a small suburb. Well think more of an inner city setting of minorities and refugee/immigrant ghetto but outside the main city...
Anyway, about 15 years ago they did away with a kinda dangerous traffic intersection right in the main square that gets f-ing heavy with traffic and retrofitted it with the most screwed up rotary in existence.
It's kind of an oblong square with confusing entrance points, and some exit points that go into parking lots that look like the Main Street bc that's what they were before the change. And it's slanted on a big dumb hill
Well about 10 years ago there used to be a random stoplight right in the middle of it for pedestrians that would flip to red faster than a normal traffic light if it even detected a person near the crosswalk, which ran straight through the rotary. It was really annoying.
My first time ever being pulled over was bc I ran that red. Also, I was trying to navigate this newfangled weird rotary that was unlike any I've ever seen before behind the wheel of damn tractor trailer. I was about 19 or so and worked for a small time distributor. I still drive truck to this day, although a pulp mill convinced me to work for them and now I'm not and regretting it.
Sorry for the long ass comment with random subjects all over the place.
BadRep it depends on the crossing type. A crossing that is placed across a carriage way not at a junction will be button activated since the lights never need to change other than to let people cross. However at for example a four way junction eventually one set of lights will have to turn red and thus allowing people to cross when it does so and doesn't actually require a button
The lights here don't change any faster but they do hold green longer to give you more time to cross.
I dont give 2 fucks if its a placebo i just love clicking buttons.
It's actually illegal for elevator door close and open buttons to be fake. The open button tends to do the same as the IR door blockage sensor in the door and stop the door from closing, while the close button does nothing. So why is it illegal for a button that does nothing to be fake, you may wonder. Well, the functions named only apply to normal operations! In firefighter operations, the door MUST be opened and closed manually by (you guessed it) the open and close buttons! When the elevator is in that mode, there is literally no other way!

Pedestrian crossings in London do NOT have placebo buttons. At pedestrian crossings in New York, there doesn't necessarily have to be a guarantee that all traffic crossing your path while it is green for pedestrians is breaking the law. There is in London. Crossings have a green light for pedestrians parallel to the traffic being allowed through. In London, crossings typically have a phase for pedestrians. If no-one pushes the button, they will skip the pedestrian phase. The only reason why it looks like it is a placebo is because if you don't push the button, the chances are that someone else will, except late at night. There is no advantage to the crossing going green for pedestrians if no-one has pushed the button.
British lift door close buttons are generally not placebos, but American ones are required to not work for 5 seconds.
We used to have placebo buttons on our trams in London, but they removed them recently.
I always thought it was because they were part of the standard design (many tram networks in Germany use them) & TfL hadn't bothered to ask Bombardier to omit them.
They definitely have placebo buttons in Adelaide, Australia.
I'm usa,my office elevator will stay open for like 2 3 minutes if nobody press close
I was on holiday in the gold coast Australia and in one mall they had a mosquito and it was really irritating but my parents had no idea what I was talking about. I hated it.

dont know what mosquito ad you're talking about but we call them shopping centres here not malls thats a yank thing

I think it may be shopping centre if they're from the UK or something...you know us Kiwis have adopted ~some~ US stuff.
Yes, the lights are controlled by a timer, but the "Press to cross" button adds a one-shot change to the sequence. Sensors just below the road surface at a side street that doesn't deserve a green light every minute also add a change for the occasional car waiting.
blue light makes me sleepy...
I call horse shit on that!
"OMG, UFO." Oh its just blue lights (me yesterday)
Try not pressing the pedestrian walk button in my country and you will stand there untill another presses the button
same in my country, except we don't have buttons
In my country the only thing that ours do is change the light to day you can walk and while your waiting the buttion repeatedly says wait
Ok
i live in texas mine is the same way although to go from the bus stop to my apartment or vice versa since there is essentially no traffic on the intersecting road but a lot on the main one the crossing button actually does change the signal otherwise it would take FOREVER to go as the main road timer is the longest ive ever seen
Sublime they don’t work
Placibo buttons is an urban myth. If a "Press to cross" button fails, it has become faulty and should be reported to city works department. In my town where I often walk, all "Press to cross" buttons that I've tried do work.
I live in London, if you don't press the button the cars will never stop.
Zahid Nisrin and if you do they still don't stop (a summary of London traffic)
Zahid Nisrin actually sometimes they do stop without pressing it it happens in my area
Zahid Nisrin so glad I live in Yorkshire, our traffic light systems work on a liop like eveywhere else and if you do want to cross the road you have to press the button, doesn't stop the traffic instantly but there is a point in the loop where it will give time for pedestrians to cross... also provided your not walking through town on the day of a football match you can pretty much guarantee your safe to cross lol
in Romania it's the same...

I consider 'Pepto Bismol Pink' (as shown in the video) the ugliest and most obnoxious shade of pink ever. I don't find it calming, in fact it triggers intense irritableness in me, a complete 180 of what they are after. It literally makes me want to deck someone. In fact it gives me a screaming headache.
Seafoam/pale green is far more calming. Most greens are calming to most people. Except electric lime 'dayglow' green or the chromakey 'green screen' color in photo shoots. I get a romping headache from them in a very small amount of time too. Most 'dayglow' colors hit me just like this.

CLICKBAIT.. Also my Dad's an road engineer so number 6 is obviously bull, the button tells the traffic computer that somebody wants to cross, it may or may not influence it, depending on traffic flow.
TheMiniGeek Do you not realize that he lied?
He didn't. These buttons are often also rigged into assistance alarms that chirp/flash for blind or hearing impaired people.
Derpki On the UK Traffic Light buttons underneath there is a black cap that spins around for the blind when it is safe to cross
Yep, there's also special paver blocks that are brightly coloured with different textures to assist as well. There's "chirping" alarms to cross the street to direct guide dogs.
Yeah I live in South London and all the crossings nearby me will only go green for pedestrians if you press the button, even the bigger junctions. The reason is, I presume, why waste time for people crossing the road if there is no-one who wants to cross?
The mosquito heavily backfired in some cities here in switzerland as they forgot how many pet dogs were around.
They uninstalled all of their mosquitoes within 2 weeks.
Where I live the government banned smoking at bus stations, shopping centre's,restaurant's 25 years ago.
Actually, in the town that I live if you don't push the button the light crossing never changes. While the close door button in an elevator may be bullshit (I have no knowledge either way) the open button is absolutely not it's how you hold the door when you need it open for longer then the timer keeps it open or if you need it to open back up if it starts closing.
Yeah, here, crosswalk buttons may or may not make the light change faster (depending on the button), but they do change the amount of time that is given when it does change, to allow pedestrians to cross busy streets where they would give cars less time. I've had the sensor loops in the street not pick up that my motorcycle was above them. I didn't want to get a ticket in Beverly Hills, so I got off the bike and walked over to press the button.
fadiekay k
fadiekay the elevator close button is 100% not connected, and reduces wear from the other buttons
There's a traffic crossing near to where i live that if you press it it practically immediately halts traffic and you can cross. So clearly not all of them are like the one described.
Same for my city- if you don't press the Walk button, it won't let you cross. It'll just let the cars go as they were.
Disco light crossings need to be a world wide thing!

the crosslight (number 6) isnt fake, the traffic light runs with a sequence using PLC ladder logic program which i took in college. When the sequence is running the program notices when you pressed the button, when the sequence is done then you can cross the road...
Hate to break it to you but we have crosswalks here that if you DON'T push the button you're never going to cross. If you were to put me in a pink cell you'd better bring reinforcements when you come to take me out, I find pink to be extremely irritating.

In Sweden, if you don't press the button to cross the road, the light won't turn green. It will become red for cars, but it won't turn green for pedestrians. Instead it will shorten the time that the red light is on for cars.
We do have some automatic ones as well. They still have the small box, but not the buttons.
no crosswalks in Canada are automatic. if u do not press the walk button u Will never get a walk light., neither are elevator close or open door buttons I used to work installing elevators here in Canada, ones I didn't install I timed and door opens or closes faster with button.

Elevator "Close door" buttons are usually superfluous but not fake. The door closes automatically, usually 3 seconds after nothing is sensed by the infrared beam. Some do work. If the beam is set for 7 seconds and you press the "Close door" button immediately after the last person enters or leaves, the door will close immediately. You may wonder why the beam has a delay. It's to allow for elderly or other slow folks to have a chance to get in or out. A multi-level retirement residence would have a longer delay set for the automatic closing.
I think the delay of these buttons is useless. At least in my country no one presses the close button if there is still someone who wants to enter the elevator. Many people even press the open button in this case.
But in the last one they'd be dancing in the middle and getting distracted XD

None of these have anything to do with the government "controlling" your behavior
giving the people a false sense of feeling like they are in control?
i believe that is what governments all over the world has been doing for centuries..
The traffic buttons do something depending on where you live. German pedestrian crossings are that way. You press them and the pedestrian lights activate, without pressing you get simply no green light for pedestrians ever. There are some different button style things installed in similar places on crossings, but they are for blind people and the crosswalk activates a sound for the lights(working only if you wear a special device). We don't have any fake buttons here. Bus stop buttons for example make a bus stop in rural areas at the next bus stop(he would not otherwise if no one is waiting) or the driver is forced to open the door or he could not move with his street car(he can also open it anyway if he want to, but he won't in the winter for example).
The other somewhat famous example is the close the door button in elevators. Maybe it does nothing in the US, but if you (very rarely) see one in Germany it works! No one would press a fake button here, because most people would never press it (if you ever waited on a German crosswalk without checking if the button was pressed by someone already waiting there you would know.)

4:45 elevator buttons arent placebo. The door close button works, just not in a way the public usually needs to use it, or knows. I used it in my old job. Needed to get to the top floor without stopping at other floors inbetween. Hold the floor number+the door close button until you arrive. It will skip the elevator lobbies inbetween even if they have pushed the call button. The computer will skip the trigger and keep going to the floor requested. Otherwise, it might be faster taking the stairs to get to a top floor emergency. This is easier to use than it can be for someone to find another person with an elevator override key. I never even KNEW who had those keys except the FD. All the nurses, docs, and guards knew this override because when I worked there. There was no separate elevator for doctors and emergencies. We used that function instead, and guests got to learn something new everytime we did it. They did eventually designate one elevator as medical/emergency use only though. The function still exists none the less.
The button will not simply close the doors just because you pushed it though, unless it isn't up to code. This seems to be causing all these informative posts/vids to spread false info. Person in charge says the function doesn't work ever since the 90s and handicap laws. Made it so you can't close the doors sooner than programmed, so the handicapped can't be cut off. But this is a button with MULTIPLE functions. That's why they still exist in some elevators. Elevators without this function, typically don't have the button available at all. I am sure there is still 1 or 2 other shortcuts it is used for as well that most don't know about. If there are a lot of floors, I see this button and I still use it lol.

Hahaha. Crosswalk buttons do work. Bring your stopwatch, stand there, test it, and check yourself.
A lot of the time in Australia, if you don’t press the pedestrian walk button, the traffic lights will of course still change, but the green man won’t flash and cars don’t have to give way. It can also mean that the light sequence is shorter because it doesn’t have to allow time for people to cross. It can be annoying when you come to a crossing and someone is already there, so you don’t press the button because you assume they have already, and pushing the button while they’re standing there suggests you think they’re a moron who hasn’t pushed the button, but then it turns out they ARE a moron and you miss the sequence and have to wait through a whole other set of lights. Then there’s the opposite end of the spectrum where people push the button repeatedly thinking that makes a difference. One push will do it, my friend.
The placebo Voting booth , makes you think your vote actually counts
I noticed that in China, EVERY "Close door" button gets pressed at every floor level. This is a 100% habit for Chinese. I used to put my finger up one inch from the button and tell the other folks that I could send a magic signal to the button without actually touching it. The door would close at 3 seconds by the infrared sensor, not the button. This usually got a laugh.

The buttons actually do work. they act like the magnetic detection strips under the car Lanes. sometimes an intersection mostly gets traffic in one way, so unless it's pushed, it won't switch. other places have a special sequence for pedestrians only that can only be activated by the button. The problem is people think the button is supposed to instantly work, when really it just puts it in the next cycle

The traffic button tells the lights that people want to cross, if you don't press the button you wont get the walk sign. The light will change for a few seconds so the other cars can go, but then will turn back not letting anyone cross. If you press the button you get the walk sign.
If you are at a cross walk and the light turns but you don't get the walk sign its because you didn't press the button. At least that how it works where I live, never been to New York.

One of the biggest reasons that there is so much is because It's been ostracized for thousands of years and is now accepted. It's celebratory. It's not like all this support will somehow turn straight people gay. Seriously, that's ridiculous.
@@birdiepitchfeather63 Accepted by those on their way to hell, No person in their right mind would commit homosexual acts if they have any concern with where their soul ends up PERIOD
@@NDRAMSMOOTH Whatever happened to "love thy neighbor?" See, this is the kind of blatant, uncompromising hate that makes the world a worse place. You didn't even respond to what I said. How can you be so sure you are correct? You chose to think of yourself as the sole voice of reason, that everyone else is wrong for daring to question. I think you need to realize you are part of a whole, and be more humble. I choose to never hate anyone, to be a friend to all unless proven otherwise. Without tolerating those who challenge us, how can we grow? I choose to believe that everyone has a chance.
Love Classical music glad it send the thugs to go elsewhere.
The button on a crosswalk isn't to make the light change, it makes it so you actually have time to cross the street when the light does change. It's most noticeable at night when there is no traffic. For example, where I live if you cross the highway without pressing the button BEFORE the light changes (as in, pressing it while WAITING, not as you are crossing) you won't even make it a quarter of the way before you have traffic coming at you. At night, there is no pedestrian crosswalk timer at all UNLESS you press the button. It isn't timer based outside the traffic of daytime, it is based on the number of cars crossing the intersection. If no cars cross, the green light only lasts a second. Even in the day time, if you don't press the button you will never have a pedestrian cross signal, you will only have the Hand symbol signifying do not cross.
Maybe it is different in other countries, but from my perspective that is irresponsibley dangerous misinformation you are spreading.
