Some will not go to the pedestrian phase unless you press the button.
Other lights (especially at junctions or where several roads meet) will have the pedestrian phase programmed in to the sequence, so that actually 'pushing the button' makes no difference.
according to a previous posting I read somewhere on this site - by seeing the colours of the ridged paving slabs at the crossing you can tell whether it pushing the button will have any impact. This was for guide dogs as they an diffentiate between light and dark.
Personally I don't think it is true - but it does make a good story.
