Florida statute 316.130 says:
(b) The driver of a vehicle at any crosswalk where signage so indicates shall stop and remain stopped to allow a pedestrian to cross a roadway when the pedestrian is in the crosswalk or steps into the crosswalk and is upon the half of the roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling or when the pedestrian is approaching so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger.

In this case the sign does not indicate that the driver shall stop. It simply indicates that a pedestrian cross walk exists. So, what is the legan interpretation?
I have used that particular cross walk many times. Only once did someone stop and wave me across. I was surprised, as I do not believe that I had the right of way.
