Boy have I got the solution for you
Just carry a brick and wave it at traffic as you cross. Make sure they know that you can fuck them up and everyone should play nice.
I’d wager that a fake and lightweight but realistic looking brick for ease of carrying around would probably work too, since it’s the visual warning you’re after

But if what I need to use brick? Should I carry a backup real brick© just in case?

Maybe Ninja Rocks could be the solution for you. Only fucks up windows, though

I know how to use a cross walk (the signal lights up and makes announcements here, it’s hard to get confused by it) and have still been almost hit multiple times after I started crossing. I don’t wear urban camo, people truly just don’t even look for anything except other cars. ‘Is something that can fuck me up in the way? No? Time to blindly accelerate!!’
It’s even worse in parking lots. ‘I’m in my car now, time to go!’ with zero understanding that they just walked through the parking lot and other people might also be walking through it.
