Seems bonkers to me to have people and cars in the same space at the same time.

You mention right of way but it's no comfort to me that I have right of way over a car when the car is trying to push through or running me over!

That seems pretty unavoidable to me, considering we put sidewalks right next to roads. As a pedestrian, I don't want to wait for both directions of traffic to have their turns to cross before I get mine. Though it can be handy if I need to cross diagonally.
