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?

        but theirs isn’t! Apparently federation is working :) and yes, I now realise that Not Just Bikes has an orange logo and the YouTube channel often talks about The Netherlands but I didn’t mention his show is Dutch.
