I've heard about them, but don't know all the specific details. Emergency vehicle's will use them during an emergency to help set the intersection to green
so it will be a little safer to get through a intersection. I believe they also can be bought through the internet. I saw on the news not to long ago someone had got arrested for using one of these so he would set the lights to green and get to work faster. I think they are based on infra-red, but not sure. Was this what you were thinking about?

They have these installed all over Taipei and Shanghai (of the very limited places I've visited) I think they are a good feature for pedestrians.

They have them to get the seniors and people carrying babies to run. lol
Actually it is because too many people were entering the crosswalks on the flashing hand and getting stuck in the middle of traffic when the light changes. This way people (with brains) know how many seconds they have left.
