New York City's placebo buttons and "The Post Hoc Fallacy"

…I’m guessing that you live somewhere where the very existence of a pedestrian is seen as an inconvenience? I don’t dare ask how you feel about bikes.

If the road is clear, I’ll cross without pushing the button. If it’s not very clear, I’ll push the button. You can speed back up to 60MPH in your car with no more effort than a tap of your foot. You can wait 30 damn seconds.
