Same here - and it's actually really quite bad for safety!

I walk to and from work every day, same route, same crossings, during daylight hours, the same sequence of traffic and crossing, to the degree where one watches the traffic lights and crosses as you see them change, rather than waiting for the pedestrian light.

Anyway, long story short, walked there one evening shortly after getting into this routine, and got halfway across the road before realising that the flow was evidently different at night, and required a button-push for the pedestrian interval.

If they just put up a sign that said "button needs pushing only between hours of X and Y" it'd probably help road safety and save frustration - although that goes contrary to the article. shrug

Then all, the armchair traffic engineers will e complaining that the signs aren't accurate.
