Absolutely.  Pedestrians have the right of way. 

Yes, I do.  When I'm going somewhere I always leave in plenty of time so it's not a big deal to let those who are walking cross safely, whether they're at an intersection or jaywalking.

jh...in my area, many drivers attempt to beat the pedestrian through the crosswalk, so I know exactly what you are talking about. I always glance both ways when I'm walking, as I've had some close calls.

I most definitely do, it's the least I can do considering they're stuck inhaling my exhausts. It doesn't matter if a person is in a crosswalk or not, I let them cross the street. I most especially make a point of stopping to help children cross the street, so that oncoming traffic get the hint to stop and let the kiddo cross the street.

Absolutely, I stop to let pedestrians cross in front of me.  But I rev the engine and honk the horn when they are right in front of me. My car is in park, but if you give it enough gas, it lurches just a little, and that scares the cr*p out of the peds. 
Not really.  
Really, I do stop for pedestrians. I appreciate the gesture when I'm a ped, so reciprocate.  I also appreciate a pedestrian who hustles across my path; the ones who dawdle...............

So that was you who made me jump out of my skin...er...feathers. lol

All the time...and for deer, bunnies, various other critters ! It's the law...pedestrians have the right of way in Canada!

Unfortunately, having the right of way, doesn't always mean that that happens. If you do much walking in the city, you have to be really careful at cross walks.

Yes I do!  Our town has a number of cross-walks.  Supposedly, it is mandatory to stop when people attempt to use them.  The way I see it, our community acquires a friendlier aura if drivers follow this practice.  Stopping for pedestrians might remind other drivers to extend that courtesy, as well.  It only takes a second or two; it is one of the smallest ways a person can bring a bit of sanity to a downward spiraling society.

Yes..I do....It`s the law here too in the UK!...But I`d always stop anyway!!:-)

Yes, I do. In most towns, its the law.

It's mandatory in my state to stop at all crosswalks. I would stop even without the law. I learned by experience that I hate waiting for traffic to pass when trying to cross a busy street. I wouldn't want to make someone else wait like that. 

The law here states that you must stop for pedestrians who are at a crossing.So....Yes,I always stop at crossings for them or if they are not at a crossing I will stop for them provided it is safe for me to do so.Many,Many  years ago when I was taking my test for semi trailers I stopped for a pedestrian on a busy street.The testing officer told me "Don't pander to pedestrians".(His words verbatim).I didn't lose any points off my test for it but he let me know that it wasn't the right thing to do.

 they were on the road not on water

I was a little annoyed at the fat lady in the mini skirt and the tight sweater. She was in the cross walk and I kinda inched out because I was distracted. I didn’t plan on hitting her
Anyway a traffic cop caught me inching out and he gave me a ticket for $??. (A lot) I am very careful not to get distracted now.  I can’t imagine not letting a pedestrian cross!

Would you be annoyed if the fat lady was a slim lady?

Yes..I do....It`s the law here too in the UK!...But I`d always stop anyway!!:-)

I always do and i stop for all animals crossing the road including the ducks with her babies as this happened yesterday

I do, but I sure wish the crosswalk in the center of our village didn't have parking spaces so close to it (which obstructs the pedestrians starting to cross). 

No. Around here, in the Detroit area, it's open season on pedestrians.    ; -)

Yes I do in the town and villages, it's the law here in the UK ,I think once someone is walking across the road they have the right of way.

Yes!  Always!  Even J-walkers if the speed limit and person behind me allow it.  I get honked at at cross-walks all of the time.  Oh well.  I stop for critters too...and get laughed at for saving worms in parking lots!

90% of the time, yes.  The other 10%?  Guilty.

Here in my town anyone walking is lucky not to have a car stopped right in the middle of the cross walk. In a few years they will be stopping for a red light in the middle of the intersection.

Yes i do in fact i installed brake lights on the front of my car just to let em know I'm thinking of them..

Always, If their J-walking I give them a sonic ear cleaning.

oh my, I thought they were just artistic  speed humps

yes

yes I do
