i think this depends on where you are. It certainly ISN'T the case in New York City. You step in the street at the wrong time and you're either cursed at and honked at by at least 10 taxi drivers or you're roadkill.
Now I've never been to the west coast, but I hear that cars have to stop for people... and that's TOTALLY weird to us New Yorkers.

If there is a crosswalk and no crosswalk lights, the pedestrian has the right-of-way every time. If those two conditions aren't met, the pededestrian DOES NOT have the right-of-way.
