R403.1 requires operable parts to meet the requirements of R.403 and there is an advisory note at R403.1  which says “Operable parts on accessible pedestrian signals and pedestrian pushbuttons (see R209) and parking meters and parking pay stations that serve accessible parking spaces (see R309.5) must comply with R403”, clarifying that pedestrian pushbuttons are operable parts and that these requirements do apply.

R403 references 2 other sections, requiring that operable parts of devices meet the requirements of R404 and of R406. It also specifies that and maximum force required and that the pushbutton shall be operable with one hand and not require grasping or pinching.

Note that these requirements for operable parts are essentially the same as the requirements for operable parts in the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design.
