(b) The pedestrian is approaching so closely from the opposite edge of the roadway as to be in danger.
(2) The provisions of this division are not applicable under conditions where pedestrians are required to yield pursuant to this subchapter.
(B) No pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety or walk or run into the path of the vehicle which is so close that it is impossible for the driver to yield.
