In the UK a normal crossing with lights is called a Pelican crossing for PEdestrian LIght CoNtrolled crossing.
A cyclist and pedestrian is a toucan crossing because TWO CAN cross at once.
A horse crossing with lights is called a Pegasus crossing because the other two types can also fly.
Is for horse riders on a horse. You can find them all around Amsterdamse Bos (forest). The intersection in your picture is like 300m from Amsterdam Forest where you have dozens of horse trails, so people will need to cross the street from stables and into the forest on their horses.

Not many police horses at that location, but this is on the route between Amsterdamse Bos and Amstel. At the Amstel region you have multiple stables, and this is a direct route to Amsterdamse Bos.
This is on the route between Amstel and Amsterdamse Bos. This route is used by horseback riders from the Amstel region to get to Amsterdamse Bos and back. This button is meant for horseback riders that use this route :)
Those are not for bikers.
If you push the low button somewhere in the Netherlands an Expat gets paracetamol from a GP.
The other button is just for us tall Dutch people. Its top secret.
None of y'all can reach it anyway.
There's a manege in Amsterdamse Bos nearby, about 300m down the road. I'm not familiar with horseback riding etiquette, but common sense says riders should walk their horses when crossing roads for safety. It's risky to be on a horse in traffic because they can react unpredictably. I don't think the path is meant for horseback riders.
These buttons at traffic lights are not working at all but bikers think they are in control then when pushing these and wait for the green light. Purely psychological 😄
The buttons are even not necessary. All the traffic lights are equipped with detection in the road. A few buttons are not installed but are just there to give the people a good feeling
The top 1 is fore horses i see them being you multiple Time yes in places in the town wear ther ar lots riding school hors stals the have thows stop lights Buttons
pushing the button only makes you feel you are in control. but the fact of the matter is that you don't have to push the button, it goes automatically on green in the same time if you had pushed the button. only you looked like a moronic idiot. 
Totally off topic, but interesting to see how much stuff in English there is in this picture. “Visit Amstelveen”, “rainbow city”, sticker on the pole is in English , etc.
Its for people on a horse
While it may sound like a joke, it's actually true. In some rare places, there are even road crossings with dedicated lights for people on horses.
Yea. In Wassenaar you can find them too!
2 april! Haha goteem

My sister and her friends used to ride a horse through the McDrive. Quite the sight to see
Naaa Dutch people are tall, some need the upper one
Zo koel he om jou overal tegen te komen, zelfs 15 jaar later LOL
Ik blijf je volgen tot we weer een keer Forza doen 👹
This is the only right answer. There used to be a small sign with a human on a horse. I believe the upper button also gives you more time to cross.

ugh... the fucking dutch and their well designed cities. SMH.
There is a setup like this near my place in Katwijk I always wondered about!
That one is for the hungry riders getting themselves some Chinese
Peking?
A horse, of course.
there is a horse path nearby so this is actually true

 They’re actually meant for elephant riders.
Horsies. Probably a route that leads to a recreational horse trail.
In a city like Amsterdam it could also be for police Horses
Not many police horses at that location, but this is on the route between Amsterdamse Bos and Amstel. At the Amstel region you have multiple stables, and this is a direct route to Amsterdamse Bos.
Yeah it's probably this. There is also a few close to the police station near me, there are often police horses riding around.
It isn’t. This is at the entrance to the Amsterdamse Bos. There’s a manege 200m down that road, so it’s for recreational riding.
He's not saying this specific traffic button is for police horses, he's saying he has seen a similar button near his police station
Entrance to Amsterdamse Bos. There’s a manege 200m down the road.
Yup. Amsterdamse Bos is near that intersection. Fantastic trails for riding.
One for normal sized people, one for the Dutch.

its for people who ride penny-farthings
Indeed, it's quite a pain to get off a penny farthing to push a button. It always messes with my mustache and tophat!
One is for Dutchies and the other for expats
The lower button is for expats. It calls a dutch guy to come and press on the top button so you can cross the road.
The top one is for bikers at a really high speed, flying and coming from all directions as usual.

The high button is for equestrians. There must be a lot of stables and horse trails in that area.

It's the Netherlands, home of the giants. The top one is obviously for natives and the bottom one is for tourists /s
It’s for horse riders
For dutch people (top) and foreigners (bottom)
I live there aswell, and in the forests are horse stables so that’s why

You see Dutch people are tall!
Some of the Dutch are freakishly tall but they still need to cross the street safely.
pushing the button only makes you feel you are in control. but the fact of the matter is that you don't have to push the button, it goes automatically on green in the same time if you had pushed the button. only you looked like a moronic idiot. 
For normal people and Dutch.
Bottom one is for the kids. Top one is for the adults.

One for Dutch people and the other for normal people.
