exactly, the button should just be a backup if the detection fails
There should also be a light to indicate that you’re detected, and ideally a change in the sound signal as well (because the signal has a sound so blind people know when it’s green, right?)
Plenty do instead a mechanical actuator, as it’s not uncommon for people who are blind to also be deaf, but very rare for anyone to be insensitive to touch
Literally a tiny dial under the crossing button, attached to a motor, that begins spinning very slowly (like 5-10 rpm) when the light is green
Honestly fuck the button entirely, we live in the modern era, you can use human detection technology to detect people waiting to cross
There’s plenty of places that have that
