First time I've seen the pedestrian crossing button pointing downwardOn Granville Bridge with the new bike lanes, crossing is behind me @citylife #vancouver #urbanism #biketooter #city

A yellow pedestrian crossing button. Includes an explanation sign describing the walk signal, flashing hand, number countdown, and steady hand symbols. A black tactile button with a downward arrow activates the crossing. A red lamp is lit, indicating its activation.

The ones I typically see are mounted on the side, parallel with the crosswalk.

    That is different to Germany. Here they are basically exclusively mounted facing the crosswalks in some way. I think I have never seen them mounted in parallel...
    This might explain why we don't have similar arrows, as in this configuration they might be less helpful...
