I didn't even see an option to press the button if you are one side of the street. Is it suppose to automatically go? I stood there the other night for 10 minutes, intent on NOT being another jaywalker, but eventually I just had to run across Whitney when I could because the walk signal never worked.

This is New Haven. Oftentimes jaywalking (or jay-running) is the most effective way of crossing the street.
