    Unfortunately the beg button doesn't actually turn the light red it just makes the next phase slightly longer. The truck and the tesla crash together around the baby and promptly burst into flames while you desperately push the button. As they burn, the light changes on schedule and stays green an extra ten seconds for the walk signal.

      Depends. On some intersections, the main road may always be green until either a vehicle sensor or pedestrian cross button is pressed. Depending on various conditions and settings, sometimes pressing can immediately cause the light to turn yellow.

        There are a bunch of those main road always green until the sensor or button happens intersections near me. Pressing the button makes them change about 3-5 minutes later. A vehicle triggering the sensor makes them change usually about 1-2 minutes later.
