I've always operated on the principle that the damage a 3,000 pound car can do to my 230 pound body, coupled with the stupidity/aggressiveness/blindness of most drivers, trumps any legal rights I have to be in the crosswalk. On general principles, if there is a car in the vicinity, I stop and wait for it to pass before I enter the crosswalk.
