Pedestrians do have the right of way in a cross-walk designated as such. That said...they do NOT have the right of way just jay-walking across a street etc. Many folks here seem to think they can just walk across...some not even looking both ways. Amazing more don't get hit!

We ALL have to be aware of our surroundings at all times here...both motor traffic and others!! Good thing the OP wasn't hurt!!!
