So, the law as written quoted in the original post, atleast to me and I’m not a lawyer or anything, doesn’t seem to imply that it would actually be illegal. Police might still charge you (because they’re scumbags), but I’m willing to bet its something that a judge would throw out.
Maybe you’re right, but I’d be more concerned with being hit by a car. The fact that it is “illegal” at a minimum means that cars won’t expect pedestrians, and I’m less concerned about having the right of way than I am about discovering the coefficient of friction for asphalt first-hand.
