In a fight between a car and a pedestrian the pedestrian loses (big time) so pedestrians have a higher vested interest in their own safety. I know what the light changes are at intersections I cross a lot. Where are these cops when cars sail through red lights or nearly run over pedestrians when turning when the pedestrians have right of way? So pedestrians can do whatever they want because its more dangerous for them? Did you know that a flashing red hand means "don't walk"? You can be ticketed by entering the crosswalk when it is flashing. How many of your close calls would that eliminate? As a driver, what is your first instinct when you see someone in the middle of your path on the road? I also hate people who jaywalk onto medians - how do I know they're going to stop when they get there? Especially if they're running at full speed. I've also had several pedestrians almost jaywalk right out infront of my car before, some not noticing me until I honked at them (too close to stop). We would all be safer if we all followed the rules. Not just cars.
