    No, pedestrians should wait for an opening in traffic, then cross. I've heard of too many tragedies or near tragedies caused by pedestrians who feel they are immune to 2,000 pounds of steel moving at 25-35 miles per hour. Pedestrians have the right of way in a crosswalk, but that shouldn't extend to them stopping traffic just to cross a road.
