There’s no button. They put the cover with the label over the top of the existing button.

There is a button: the label says push it outside of automated hours

How do you cross the street outside of the posted hours? Just run across while the light is green and hope for the best?

When the buttons were covered, you didn't need to push the button to activate the pedestrian signal. It just came on every cycle.
