So from this bit

In his judgment in the Court of Appeal in Crank v Brooks, Waller LJ said: “In my judgment a person who is walking across a pedestrian crossing pushing a bicycle, having started on the pavement on one side on her feet and not on the bicycle, and going across pushing the bicycle with both feet on the ground so to speak is clearly a ‘foot passenger’.

With my emphasis added.

Is the middle of a junction considered a pedestrian crossing? Just curious.

Are pedestrians (without bikes) prohibited from crossing junctions (or otherwise) on foot?

IMO unless & until we have jaywalking regulations it is irrelevant.

Aroogah in reply to @rhb

No. But it was more a question about whether there was a generally accepted definition of pedestrian crossing that might apply. It seems an interesting choice of specific words by the judge if there is not.
