Standard junction arrangements here are that pedestrians have right of way when crossing the minor road.
They don't look, they just step out. Cars do get rear ended, more worryingly they can get caught out and end up blocking the main road while waiting for the pedestrian to clear the minor one. Pedestrians get hit, particularly when a car is turning off a major road into a minor one and there is street furniture confusing the view.
It is ridiculous to permit a large lump of metal and a warm body to have equal rights at the same moment over the same piece of tarmac where the decider is who gets there first.
