> With the walk signal there is a brief moment in time when the drivers are doing nothing but waiting for you and are all stopped so you as a pedestrian can account for them in preparation just before you get your signal and make your move.

Having almost been hit a few times by drivers making a right turn on red, I can tell you the drivers never wait even if you have the right of way. You'll be lucky if they even look for you.

> Legally having the right of way doesn't make you any less dead when the driver who's got three other drivers to pay attention to doesn't see you.

Also, and I know this is unpopular, but maybe you shouldn't dress like that if you don't want the attention.
