I'm under the impression, here, is that the pedestrian has the right of way, at a non lit intersection. Gosh, this morning, I stopped with noone behind me for two elderly gentlemen making their way back from the grocery store to their low income housing. It's a rather slow going stretch as is and this got me thinking to recommend a crosswalk, right there, because of them and others that I've done this for and witnessed in the past other motorists extending the same courtesy.
It's courtesy to show consideration for others, plain and simple.
