Then they should cross only in the designated place.

But why? Why should the cars get the priority? Why do they get miles of designated place and the pedestrians only get 2m of it every now and again?

Cars can't cross the road on a divided highway either, so it's fair. If the person in question was running along the road not across it, this wouldn't have happened.
