For sure, I think drivers often make calculations like they're being nice, but the risk to a walker is way higher than a driver and so they shouldn't be surprised when the walker doesn't take the wave. I slow down and meander as a pedestrian when there's a busy 4 way and then jog across, if people stop early "just in case" I feel put at risk for niceties.
Agreed. You're not taking the risk, don't make the decision for me. I'll go when I feel it's safe for me to do so.
