Should the pedestrians and drivers have the same rights and obligations??

All pedestrians have the right of way even if they were misusing the tracks, but to avoid accidentsthey must observe and comply with traffic rules. Pedestrians are not only victims of accidents they aldo often cause them.
In places where there are no police or anytrafficlights they have preference before crossing the road .However, they must ensure that there is no danger or risk in crossing the road.
If there is a change in thetrafficlights while a pedestrian is crossing the junction, the pe destrian has the right to continue his march to complete the crossing, being forced drivers torespect this right.
The driver of a vehicle approaching a danger zone is bound to slow the vehicle and to stop if the pedestrian demands it.
