We have this in my town. Ambiguous zones. The idea is it creates confusion, and slows traffic. However, in my state, pedestrians have right of way on ALL roads. So the car simply slows. Mostly.

I live in Washington, and people just walk into the road as if it was nothing. People be like "pedestrians have the right away", but they forget that the rule of tonnage still applies.
