>"Right of way" in the UK means a legal right to use the road. Pedestrians have right of way on most UK roads(motorways being a notable exception)

There are distinctions to be made, when it comes to 'Right(s) of way' but your bizarre and daredevil interpretation of what constitutes a legal route for pedestrians and the call to ignore common-sense road security, would only be considered by those who have a death wish.

I said nothing about safety, and made no calls to action.

Your open-ended statement implies that legging it across a road is fine, as long as it isn't a motorway. This is not a safe guidance for the uninitiated.

It implies no such thing, and it is not guidance.

Your original statement was emphatic and conveys authority. Perhaps, I misinterpreted your riposte, as an intention to inform the reader.
