Abstract: A pedestrian crosswalk switch (140) for registering force applied to a crosswalk button (172) is provided. The pedestrian crosswalk switch (140) includes a button housing (142), a crosswalk button assembly (143) including a compression spring (174), a button coupling assembly (176), and a microswitch assembly (178). The crosswalk button assembly (143) has a button shank (184) that protrudes through the compression spring (174) and into a button aperture (162) of the button housing (142). The button coupling assembly movably couples the crosswalk button (172) via the button shank (184). The microswitch assembly (178) has a movable trigger (196) and a compression spring (198) pivotally mounted to a microswitch (194) by a pivot pin (202). The microswitch assembly (178) is mounted to a flange (168) protruding from the button housing (142) such that the trigger (196) is in engaging alignment with the button coupling assembly (176).
