I agree with you, pedestrians need to stop and look before crossing. I can't tell you how many times ive seen people that don't "have the light" just walk into the street without looking.

Are you suggesting that it would somehow be the pedestrian’s fault if they got hit? They were already most of the way across the street when this happened - the car zipped between them and the sidewalk they were approaching.

The pedestrian 100% had the right of way, and they were attentive enough that they didn’t get hit.

No, I'm not talking about that scenario. I'm speaking in general ( maybe I shouldn't have used a comma). To rephrase what I'm saying... pedestrians have a duty to be vigilant when crossing the street regardless of what the light says. I see too many people these days looking down when crossing the street. Again, not talking about the scenario you mentioned.
