Were you at a crosswalk or at an MMP crossing by a gate? Unfortunately, they look the same but are treated differently.
At the MMP crossings by gates the direction given is that this area is not a crosswalk. The automobiles have the right of way and the cross traffic on the MMP (carts, bikes, peds) are supposed to wait until the automobile traffic has cleared. I know this causes confusion on both sides.
