Getting pedantic now but depending on the circumstances the traffic is supposed to have stopped for you.
Assuming there is no paint on the road an (unmarked) crosswalk may still exist [1] and drivers are supposed to yield to a pedestrian in a marked or unmarked crosswalk [2].

- sheiyei 7mo agoGetting pedantic here, "no light / crosswalk" means no crosswalk, painted or not.
- lesuorac 7mo agoExcept it doesn't. Legally there is a crosswalk regardless of if it's painted or not see [1]. I get this wasn't on the drivers test but it's still in the law. There were some complaints about not everybody living in California. It's a law in your state too; I'm not going to find it for you.

- gregatragenet3 7mo agoGetting more pedantic, less than 1pct of the population is in California. Pretty clear parent meant people who cross against the light / mid-block when there is a crossing 50ft away / stepping in front of the one car on the road when they could look up for one second and step out behind that car etc. in other words the people who put off 'main character' vibes.
