This is the way I understand it as well, but I spent about 15 minutes googling yesterday and couldn't find anything in the Highway code to support the concept. I guess it's not in the HC because it's dangerous and not encouraged, but I do definitely have the idea in my head that all pedestrians have right of way the moment they set foot on a road regardless of where they do it. And I don't think it's something that I've just made up in my head, either, I'm certain that it's something 'official'. Just can't find the actual words.
CSB :/
