I try to do it here myself whenever I see someone waiting to cross on the side of the road. I often get surprised looks, and honks from behind.

As a pedestrian, I try to time my crossing so cars don't have to stop for me. It's because I know how much stopping and accelerating costs, energywise, and I don't want someone to waste fuel just for little old me. I sometimes stand next to the road, pretending to look the other way, so that the last car in a line doesn't decide to stop and let me by, if I can cross after he passes.
Of course, there are places where waiting won't get you anywhere before 2am.
