When I’m a pedestrian, I pretty much ignore right of way and treat crossing more like frogger (unless it’s at a traffic light), though generally prefer taking moments where I can cross either fully or to a raised divider. It won’t really help me if some driver that hits me gets in legal trouble.

While driving, I actively try to avoid hitting pedestrians, using various tools at my disposal, such as my eyes (useful for seeing that there’s a pedestrian I shouldn’t hit), my feet (my car is equipped with a pedal that converts my momentum into heat, as well as another one that disengages the motor so that it doesn’t add more momentum back in, allowing me to slow down or even stop to avoid), and my arms (my car is also equipped with a device that allows me to convert the direction of my momentum to a different direction, which can work as a last line of defense when avoiding hitting pedestrians, though honestly it’s a pretty big fuck up to even need to do that because there aren’t many other options for directions on city streets). I also chose my car with “good visibility of things around me” as one of the features I wanted it to have.

Though it helps that the crosswalks here that aren’t at intersections have lights that flash rapidly only when someone presses the button to cross. It’s probably safer to cross at these than it is at an intersection due to varying levels of attention to pedestrians while turning, especially if it’s a left on a busy street that doesn’t offer many opportunities to make that turn.

Pedestrian bridges are nice whether I’m walking or driving. Assuming they don’t collapse, that is, in which case they aren’t very nice.
