Actually, I suppose that pedestrians are more vulnerable to danger and injury, than a driver in a protective car. And also, a driver in the car could injure a pedestrian, but the pedestrian can't injure you. However, at traffic lights you have you're own fair turn to cross the intersection and travel across.

When turning left at an intersection you must yield the right of way to pedestrians crossing from?

You must yield right of way to pedestrians period. Pedestrians have the right of way all the time. They are frequently stupid if they take it. It is frequently impossible for drivers to see them in time and stop if they step out in front of cars. Still, if you see one, you have to give the pedestrian the right of way! You are not allowed to deliberately hit a pedestrian.
