The mute button on my remote does NOT work on my wife!
Somebody once told me the world-
They’re timed with the parallel traffic flow
Cross walk button's work in California. Mybe because New Yorkers break there's?
I've actually watched an intersection before while waving a sign for a local campaign and the crossing signal will not light up when the light changes unless the button is pressed. So… even if they don't effect when the light changes they at the very least do that.
Maybe you haven't gone for walking lately
the close door actually work in the Philippines
What does "functioning" mean?
The purpose of the crosswalk push button is so that the walk sign comes on at the right cycle. If the button isn't pressed, the signal will stay at stop.
They're not meant to make you cross the road faster. They're meant to make you cross the road safer.
0:15 that's coffee bro ☕
not soda 🥤
Yeah there is a bunch in Dubai 😂😂
Crosswalk button works in Maryland. It doesn't change the traffic light but you won't get the signal that it's ok to cross
I'm an Elevator Enthusiast!!
Well, let's click the downvote button to see if it works… clown.
Who misses dnews
So you're telling me the crosswalk light just happens to come on the instant I pressed the button? They never come on unless you press the button. Whoever did the research for this video doesn't know what they're talking about.
I'm pure Italian North, Center and South, i can shine, most Italians can shine without using soda, no drugs at all needed, shine not for the luxury, just to be alive, to live happy the only life one have, it is just for love to life, not mixing with politics, the people the normal people just being alive
No Soda no Drugs needed, working in part in phisical jobs can after a while make you feel alive, and that is to organically shine, in universities there have to be an important part in sports and every intelectual, needs just for some time to work in the construction, no soda needed, no drugs needed That is the biggest scam is how the corrupt powers subjugate the human being, assuming that you can only feel alive with soda or the use of drugs, one of the subjects for all university students, is to work for a while in the construction or farms
They don’t work there just toys to play with while you’re waiting for the actual Signal and pushing the button feel so satisfying especially the older ones
Where I live the crosswalk button turns on the traffic signal if the traffic lights are flashing yellow for traffic.
The dislike button works fine
The Dislike button does nothing! NOTHING!
