Push button for luck

The "push button for luck" stickers are all over LIC. Are they only up around here?

From the NYT:

Dear Diary:

We recently visited Seattle, a busy city where the residents wait for a green light to cross the street, even when there is no traffic coming.

Here in New York, of course, we like to dart across the street in front of cars.

I think the administration is trying to get us to obey the signals, based on a sign I just saw on a traffic light in Long Island City near P.S. 1.

Below the button that causes the walk sign to light up were these printed words, “Push here for good luck.”

It worked!
