The other kind has a sign above the button (as shown in your pictures) and the button works for crossing a street perpendicular to where you're crossing. They typically mount these later type of button on the street side of the poles, so you have to walk around to the street side to press the button, exposing you to traffic making right turns, when they're not blocked by a bunch of people trying to go perpendicular to your street of choice (in which case they'll all be standing in front of the button you want to press).

The barbed wire fence wasn't always there you know. How far afield did you go, anyway? I love that there are trails near my home... Alternatively, I could read the verbage more carefuly.
