Can confirm has been an issue for several weeks and is extremely frustrating. As far as I know the only thing that changes about the cycle of the lights when you press that button is that it gives you a walk sign (all the vehicle traffic remains the same, as the only lane affected is the right turn lane of liberty heading west), which somehow makes it seem even more frustrating, because I don't see why you can't still cross there but I feel like I've somehow become legally culpable in the event of an accident even though none of the traffic patterns are affected by the walk signal being on or off.

It only works for me if I hit it really hard with my palm, which has more than once left a bruise in the past.
