it means that if you are a pedestrian and your crossing the street but your not at a crosswalk, its your fault if you get run over and the drivers have the right away.
The second part is saying how even though the pedestrians shouldnt be crossing the roads without a crosswalk doesnt mean you can just run over them you still have to drive safely.
hope i could help!

A is stating the pedestrian must stay off the street if there is a vehicle coming. B is stating that if a driver strikes the pedestrian, the driver is liable for not seeing the hazard soon enough to prevent it from happening. Catch 22, driver still gets nailed almost every time. Hope this helps!!
