The pedestrian buttons will work, but often they are far off to the side and forward some. A hazard I have found is that occasionally one or more cars will pull up to the light as I am waiting for my green and then I have to figure out how to get back into traffic safely. In other situations, it can lead to the dreaded right hook.

More irritating are the intersections where pedestrians are prohibited on one leg of the intersection so proceeding straight means crossing three times.

I really only encounter a few light controlled intersections on my commute and I have successfully tripped most lights. The ones I have the most problem with are the circle shaped loops and the loooong rectangular ones; about the length of two cars or so.
