No no no the pedestrian was not responsible in anyway shape or form, I'm just saying that for his sake he should have been looking. Even if you have the right of way or are in a perfectly legal right morons can end up doing things that could kill you. In a main intersection like that you need to be alert for your sake.

We have a road here in NY that has been nicknamed the Boulevard of Death. Cars run red lights on it and kill people like its a PS2 game Pedestrians cross the road and get caught in the middle island, cars jump the island and mow them down after being hit by red light runners.

You are clearly within your rights to stand or cross when you are supposed to, but are you really going to bet your life on the moron in the car following the rules? Not me, when I cross I am looking left and right like the lights are green everywhere, call me paranoid. iT always amazes me when I see people starting to cross before the cars have come to a full stop.
