bike lanes

Precisely. I'm not saying that pedestrians have carte blanche to break the law. I'm just saying that if someone on foot DOES jaywalk or whatever, you can't just plow them over, even if you ARE in the right.
Right, which isn't to say that a pedestrian has the right of way, but rather to say that the driver of a vehicle "shall exercise due care" in order to avoid running them down. But if they step right in front of you and you drill them, it is still the pedestrian's fault, they have no magic right of way card.

Agreed.

I think we're all on the same page, actually, just speaking from slightly different paragraphs.
