Today I had a green light and was entering the intersection when this woman who wasn't paying attention starts walking across the road. So I stop in the middle of the intersection and honk at her mostly just to tell her she's an idiot for not looking when crossing the street on a red and she turns to me looking all pissed off and then starts pointing down at the crosswalk. Yes, I know cars must yield the right of way to pedestrians but that doesn't mean pedestrians have carte blanche to just walk into the road without paying attention.
Drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists are all fucking idiots in this city.

Actually at a "regulated intersection" (i.e. one with stop lights), pedestrians in a crosswalk do NOT have the right of way. The ped in your case was out of line.

Maybe but because you always have to yield to the pedestrian you lose regardless. You can't run them over so there aren't many options.

Sure they can’t legally enter but once they’re in the street you can’t just run them down bud

Indeed, we could do list of questions like the ones above for pedestrians and cyclists.

>t a crosswalk, should we honk first to let them know we are going to drive around them?
If you do one for cyclists you'll need to explain what a stop sign and crosswalk are.
