Crosswalk buttons or not I hope any driver slows down and scans the intersection before blazing through. Given that cars and pedestrians mostly go in the same direction anyway, the walking signal is just a reminder for turning cars to check for pedestrians.
Some busy crosswalks are just plain broken; you spam the button, wait your turn, but you still get the orange hand.
Don’t disagree on the article being poorly written...
