Here in SC USA a pedestrian used to have right-of-way always, but the law has changed and any pedestrian who is not following the rules is just out of luck now. You are permitted to cross or be on a roadway if:
1- It is at a crosswalk and the pedestrian is completely within the marked borders obeying any signals permitting them to be there. If there are no signals, then the pedestrian is to enter the crosswalk only when the traffic signal for the road paralleling their crossing is green, or if there is no traffic coming from either way on the road they are crossing for at least one normal city block distance or equivalent.
2- They are crossing at an intersection without a crosswalk while still following those rules above. They must cross only close as is practical to the intersection.
3- They are crossing a road where there is no crosswalk or intersection within a one city block distance or the equivalent, and there is no traffic approaching from either direction that their cro0ssing may impede. It is up to the pedestrian to cross only where they have enough visibility to ensure they will not interfere with traffic.
4- Pedestrians are not permitted to walk on a roadway or within the standard lane right-of-way when there is a sidewalk available on either side of the road. If it is safe to do so, pedestrians are to avoid walking in roadways as much as is practical. If they must walk in the roadway, they are to do so only on the extreme edge of the pavement in the lane facing oncoming traffic.
5- All pedestrians are always compelled to wait till an intersection is clear of any cars in or approaching their path before entering the roadway.
Except in emergencies or where directed to do so by qualified authorities, no other use of any roadway by pedestrians is permitted and this is to include the road right-of-way where practical.
If this video had happened here, the pedestrian would have been at fault as they should have been crossing where the stationary white car was and not behind it since that is what is close to the intersection. They should have also yielded to the car turning in which should have been visible to them had they been paying attention, although that would have been a judgement call of who was there first, car or pedestrian? Although that stationary car was also breaking the law by being so far forward as to block a pedestrian's path, the pedestrian was still to yield to it. With the massive growth of my area we're seeing more pedestrians getting run down, usually at night and often the pedestrian was impaired by drugs or alcohol, and as often as not where the pedestrian had a crosswalk or intersection nearby but did not use it. Any death or injury is sad, but nobody should ever have the right to do as they please without regard to others which is what happens where pedestrians always have the right-of-way. If everyone is to be safe there must be rules for everyone to follow and stay within or the result will become chaos and anarchy, neither of which is suitable for a society of people.
