They don't talk about pedestrians at all here. Lights might be annoying, but it's also seriously nerve wrecking for all involved when dealing with a pedestrian crossing without lights. As a pedestrian trying to cross, it's often difficult to judge the driver's intent, even if they are slowing down, so I'll end up staying off to the side until they stop completely. Needless to say, that's hilariously inefficient. And when it gets dark, it just gets worse. It might be possible for the driver to see the pedestrian pretty well, but the reverse isn't always true.
