Pedestrians aren't rare in my area. Also, there's legally a crosswalk at every intersection, not just intersections with sidewalks. The part most pedestrians seem to miss is that they also have a duty of care. That means, even if the driver should yield right-of-way, you can't just step out in front of them. If you do, you'll probably be found partially responsible, which will reduce the amount you can win in court. > I’ve never seen a driver in the US stop for someone who is waiting to enter a crosswalk, only ones that have actually started to cross. I do this all the time and see it fairly regularly. About 5% of the time, the person isn't even trying to cross. (Waiting for an Uber maybe?) Pedestrians need to make their intentions known. It's actually really easy. I do it all the time. Stick your hand out in the direction you're trying to cross and try to make eye contact.
