Pelco & Campbell Pedestrian Push Buttons
The Pelco button on the left is no longer listed on their website so I have know way of knowing what model number it is. That said, it was brand new surplus that I purchased off another collector who got a whole bunch from the City of Pontiac, Michigan. I do not believe it is ADA compliant although I could be wrong. The button controls the pedestrian signals for phase four and can be held for two seconds to extend the 'WALK' time from 8 seconds to 12.

The Campbell 4EVR pedestrian push-button on the right uses a Piezo (pee-ay-zo) switch that is entirely pressure sensitive, contains no moving parts and, from my observations of examples in street service, is virtually indestructible. With moderate pressure, the button will emit a friendly "beep-boop" and the red LED flashes briefly to indicate that the call has been placed with the controller.
The H-frame 'pedestrian station' as Campbell calls it is a rare bird outside the Pacific NW as the company that makes them is based out of Boise, Idaho. However, the Portland Metro Area is positively crawling with these things as most installs from the mid-90s onward used them and they continue to be installed to this day. For me, they tell me I'm home.
The Campbell button controls the pedestrian signals for phase six. It and the frame would be the final additions to my collection purchased from Northwest Signal Supply prior to their liquidation and closure by Peek Traffic in early 2016.
