A quick check of my Florida drivers handbook seems to  indicate  that  here
pedestrians   have   the   right-of-way   at   all  marked  crosswalks  and
intersections that don't have traffic signals.  Cars are also to  yield  to
pedestrians  when  turning  in a intersection.  Also hitting pedestrians on
the sidewalk is strictly verboten :-).  There was  also  a  general  caveat
that  no  matter  how stupid what the pedestrian does is, you shouldn't put
yourself in a position where you'll be unable to avoid hitting them.

                     "So let's be careful out there."
