In the state of Florida, you are considered a pedestrian on your bicycle, unless you travel on the roadway with other motorists. Source: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...-_cOgYFby90hoH

But to be Uber specific we used the signal controlled crosswalk and crossed with the signal in the painted, designated cross walk lane when a SUV attempted to run us over. Even more specifically, do automobiles have to yield to pedestrians in a cross walk'? Why yes they do in every state in the union and every US possession. Still more questions? Florida statute 316.130(7) requires drivers to stop for pedestrians who are in a crosswalk with a walk signal.

Not sure why this is a difficult concept to grasp but if it is please voluntary turn in your driver's license before you maim or kill someone. You no longer have the ability to hold a license and safety share the road with the rest of us.
