As nonsensical as it seems at times, Peds have the ultimate right to use what ever roads they chose. I suggest you find an alternate speed and brush up your anticipation skills. Alternately if you're filtering in a tight spaces consider a bell or your vocal chords to alert folk that you can't see [behind high sided vehicles] before you get there.
Saying that ^ peds do have a responsibility to other road users' safety in how they use the road.
I get irked by the peds that step out into the road when the pavement is totally clear and has enough space without looking then when you alert them to your presence they give dirty looks and tut. The further past sundown, the more colourful their reaction is (swearing and attempting to push). I've had to u-turn a couple of times and politely ask, would you prefer I rode on the pavement or the road?
