Not unless it's denoted as a pedestrian right-of-way crossing. Otherwise, right-of-way is typically determined by crosswalk signals.

Check the regulations of your particular state or municipality.
While the above may be true in some jurisdictions, it is not universally so - ESPECIALLY in many of the western states of the US (WA and CA come to mind) where the minute the pedestrians foot touches the roadway they must be yielded to.

Is it legal to cross a street diagonally?
I have seen some intersections where diagonal crosswalks have been painted in intersections. But they are fairly rare.
Many collisions involving pedestrians occur at crosswalks and intersections in?
business districts where there is often a high volume of traffic.
Which US city provides orange flags for pedestrians to wave when crossing the street at midblock crosswalks?
Salt Lake City. There are baskets filled with orange flags at the curbs on both sides of midblock crosswalks. This does not apply to crosswalks located at intersections. The law is routinely ignored, but the flags are still there.
Where would you be likely to find Pedestrains?
Pedestrians can typically be found walking on sidewalks, crosswalks, or pedestrian pathways in areas where there is foot traffic such as urban areas, residential neighborhoods, parks, and shopping centers.
What color are cross walk lines?
Crosswalks are typically marked with white painted lines. However, not all pedestrian crosswalks are painted. It's best to use judgement when slowing down at intersections or yielding as to what would constitute the crosswalk.
What are some examples of right of way rules at intersections?
At intersections, right of way rules determine which vehicle has priority to proceed first. Some examples include yielding to vehicles already in the intersection, giving way to pedestrians in crosswalks, and obeying traffic signals and signs.
What are the driving right of way rules at intersections?
At intersections, vehicles must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and to other vehicles already in the intersection. When two vehicles arrive at the same time, the vehicle on the right has the right of way. Follow traffic signals and signs to determine who has the right of way.
What are reasons for pedestrains action that might cause conflict?
Pedestrians MUST look both ways before they cross streets, and NOT expect crosswalks to automatically protect them. Drivers OFTEN do not see pedestrians, and drivers do not often notice crosswalks. Drivers may be from out of town, or may not have driven on that particular street before. Pedestrians must not ASSUME that drivers will automatically stop for pedestrians at a crosswalk; and pedestrians must not ASSUME that drivers always see them.
What types of traffic control devices are typically found at intersections to regulate the flow of traffic and determine the right-of-way?
Traffic control devices commonly found at intersections include traffic lights, stop signs, yield signs, and crosswalks. These devices help regulate the flow of traffic and determine the right-of-way for vehicles and pedestrians.
What is an unmarked crosswalk in California and how does it differ from a marked crosswalk?
An unmarked crosswalk in California is a legal crossing area for pedestrians at intersections without painted lines or signs. It differs from a marked crosswalk, which has visible lines or signs indicating where pedestrians can cross. Both types of crosswalks give pedestrians the right of way, but marked crosswalks are more easily identifiable for drivers.
Why are there many collisions involving pedestrians occurring at intersections and crosswalks in business distracts?
Because its the most crowded place for pedestrians. Obviously if there is no places for people to visit or shop then there will be less collisions because of less flow of trafic.
What is often near no-parking zones?
No-parking zones are often near fire hydrants, intersections, driveways, crosswalks, bus stops, and loading zones to allow for clear visibility and access for emergency vehicles, pedestrians, and public transportation.
