The fact that the "Beg Button" exists in so many cities is messed up.
For the privilege of crossing the street, pedestrians are required to press a button, wait, and then scurry across while cars + trucks give them a few seconds of grace.
Here's one I'd press in a second...

In a rightside-up world, it would be driversโnot pedestriansโwho would have to press a beg button just to use the street.
