Sure. There's that option. Although, perhaps, for some, it still feels safer and better to wait at the light, if using the crosswalk has several drivers making a right turn while the pedestrian/cyclists is attempting to cross at the crosswalk, not allowing them to cross or finish crossing in front at the other corner (because in some areas, even when the crosswalk is lit for those using the crosswalk, some drivers don't notice or don't care if someone is crossing, in the limited amount of time the crossing traffic light allows; they feel their right to make a right turn on "red" takes precedence over those using the crosswalk).
