    The illuminated pushbutton is a simple technology designed to provide immediate feedback to the pedestrian that the button is working and that the signal will change. Use of the illuminated button may reduce the number of pedestrians who cross against the signal because they have no indication that a standard push button is working. The illuminated button may also result in fewer pedestrians pushing the button multiple times since there is now an immediate response from the light, which can result in longer life for the push-button itself.


Illuminated Pushbuttons are currently installed in a number of Canadian cities including: Windsor, OT.
