Well, this is interesting https://getinjuryanswers.com/pedestrians-always-right-way-california/ "In California, the law prohibits pedestrians from jaywalking. Pedestrians who need to cross the street must do so at a crosswalk at an intersection. The crosswalk can be marked or unmarked, but it must be at an intersection. Pedestrians generally have the right of way when they are in a crosswalk. However, pedestrians have a duty to yield the right of way to vehicles on the road if it is necessary to avoid an immediate hazard. So, if a car is approaching as a pedestrian intends to cross the street the pedestrian should wait until the car has passed. The duty to yield may depend on how close the oncoming traffic was."
