Walking in Waterloo Region

Also, every time I hit these beg buttons I really wish the traffic engineers had the experience of using them and the frustration of standing in the heat, cold or rain while waiting for the signals to cycle back around to your legal time to cross. I think if they experienced this themselves, they would change the system.

Even without the beg buttons, you would still need to stand in the heat, cold or rain (or plain ordinary weather) to wait for the next green cycle, eliminating the buttons would not give you the ability to (legally) cross immediately.
