Do the crosswalk buttons pedestrians push on traffic lights really work?
WriteClub
Yes Actually they do.. A scientist named Mike McAdams did a test on how long it took for the light to change without pressing the button, which took 2 minutes to change, but then he pressed the button and it only took 1 minute, 28 seconds.!!! And there is a code that allows you to change the light Immediatley by the button itself. Here is the Code: 3 Fast Clicks, 2 clicks, holding on the each of the two for atleast 5 seconds, 1 fast, 2 held ones again, and then 3 fast clicks, So it should be: click click click, cliiiiccckkkk, cliiiiicccckkk(holding down for 5 seconds), click, cliiiicccckkk cliiiiicccckkkk, then click click click!!

If a car hits a pedestrian crossing where there is a crosswalk sign who is responsible in California?
Crosswalks A crosswalk is that part of the pavement where the sidewalk lines would extend across the street and it is set aside for pedestrian traffic. Every intersection has a pedestrian crosswalk whether or not there are painted lines on the street. Most crosswalks are at corners but they can also be in the middle of the block. Before turning a corner, watch for people about to cross the street. Pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks. Crosswalks are often marked with white lines. Yellow crosswalk lines may be painted at school crossings. Most often, crosswalks in residential areas are not marked. Some crosswalks have flashing lights to warn you that pedestrians may be crossing. Look for pedestrians and be prepared to stop, whether or not the lights are flashing. To get more information on this matter and other California motor vehicle laws goto http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/hdbk/driver_handbook_toc.htm and click on the PDF version of the drivers handbook.
