That does that mean that pedestrians should walk into the actual path of the vehicles until they have stopped in accordance with either the law or courtesy.
regardless of road type
Here you are just making things up in total fabrication. I specifically said where it
legal to cross. There are plenty of places where crossing is illegal, and plenty of road types it is not legal to be a pedestrian on or near at all.
in any 'civilised' country
That's the one part you got right.
