Quite. We are very fortunate in this country to have very liberal laws in relation to walking. Walking is the default human mode of transport, cycling an indulgent luxury that only the shameless would prioritise over people walking. Sail before steam, but of course sailors raising the canvas shouldn't engage in foolish manoeuvres. The function of pedestrian crossings is to facilitate crossing at certain difficult spots, e.g. at junctions, not by implication to prohibit it elsewhere.
