He thinks (in the Torygraph) that they should have a cancel button to
use when a gap appears and you do not need the lights to change.
Do you?

That's what puffins are supposed to handle.

No, we just need to stop zebras getting on to some sort of red list.

Yes, it seems like a very good idea to me. I generally only press the
button when it is impossible to cross due to the volume of traffic. I'm
happy to wait a few seconds until I can cross safely without forcing the
lights to turn red to traffic (if possible).

Some pedestrians automatically press the button without even checking to see
if the road is already clear to cross.

the only problem areas I can see is if people are crossing behind the
canceller, then there's kids buggering about.

I once did at about one o'clock in the morning (I was at work) with just one
car approaching (and no others visible). It was a police car. :-)
