Traffic signal
Hi,
For pedestrain crossing at most of the signals, there is a box fitted to the pole. When person wants to cross the signal they press the button and wait for the signal to go green for pedestrain crossing. I wanted to know what is the purpose of this as the signal changes even without pressing the button. How does it help if we press the button?
Regards,
Dear,, in case there is no vehicle in one of the lane where u want to cross,(most of the signals are censor based.) signal will not operate.Now, any person want to cross the lane where this pedeatrian crossing button are not available,sure signal will not turn to green to cross(censor Based).if any one press this button signal will activate, hope is clear!!!!!!!!
Note:in doha most of the place pedestrian signal light are not working as it really required>>>>
These signals especially in corniche will always show green unless someone wats to cross the road presses the button.
the only place where this button is useful is on corniche .. while the other signals . no need to press just wait the green light
There are people less intelligent than you. Let them cross too.
At the corniche pedestrian signals, which never get green unless you press those push buttons to cross the road to opposite side :)
You answered already your question.
Depends on which Traffic signal you are talking about. If you press the button you will the Green man a little longer when crossing.
