Pedestrians are not expected to look out for traffic, but are not allowed to just cross anywhere. So it balances out.
If you end up driving, pedestrians are not allowed to cross anywhere (although some places like New York have legalized crossing anywhere) but pedestrians always have the right of way. You can’t run people over because they crossed outside a crosswalk.
So if on foot, use crosswalks or you could get a ticket for jaywalking. If in a vehicle, don’t hit pedestrians.
Quick note on this one

But you can shoot them, right?
Only if you do it politely and with covered chest
Unless they are black and poor and you drive a big truck in a southern city at night. Then, it’s just another unfortunate accident.
