How many people will not push the button at traffic lights because of Peter Pannekoek?
In his old year cabaret show, Peter Pannekoek stated the buttons near crossings don't actually do anything, they're just there to just pacify people. I'm fairly certain they in fact do work, though for cyclists they're mostly redundant: the magnetic loops in the road surface detect cyclists. Only for lightweight carbon bikes a manual button is still useful.
Am I correct in my assumption?

I usually press them, as they light up when you press them. Besides, it also means I can keep my feet on the peddles, and the pole makes for a convenient push-off point then
heh, same :) Though sometimes an idiot has smeared their milkshake on them or similar
You hope its a milkshake :(
