lmao. That may be true in some places but in others it requires a crosswalk. Also, the rules aren’t going to pay your hospital or funeral home bills.

Player2@lemm.ee 5 months agoIn an uncontrolled crossing the pedestrian always has the right of way. They should almost never ‘wait’ to cross

By crossing I mean a crosswalk, some sort of markings on the ground

Always where? There’s a bazillion different rules about this depending on where you live

Yes, if you can trust every driver to follow the rules exactly and have their eyes open, you can risk your life by walking out. Otherwise you might wait anyway. And the rules about right of way depend on your country and state.

Doesn’t matter if I have the right of way, I’m not walking into the other lane (going 35 mph) and hoping they don’t kill me

I’m not saying you should be reckless, but too often I see people be either uninformed or unwilling to exercise their rights. To be fair, I do write with something of an urban bias, where thankfully those kinds of speeds are much less common.
