When crossing a street pedestrians should always use a crosswalk if it is available or should wait for traffic to stop for them.?
By law, motorists are REQUIRED to stop for ANY pedestrian at any MARKED crosswalk with crosswalk lines on both sides. At some crosswalks with no traffic light, pedestrians are not required to wait although since all drivers are not that smart to automatically stop for pedestrians in crosswalks, it may be wise for the pedestrian to consider their own safety and wait anyway.
What is the purpose of a stoplight?
The purpose of a stoplight is to ensure that cars are stopping safely and not running through the light. It also protects the safety of pedestrians that may be crossing at the crosswalk.
If a car hits a pedestrian crossing where there is a crosswalk sign who is responsible in California?
Crosswalks A crosswalk is that part of the pavement where the sidewalk lines would extend across the street and it is set aside for pedestrian traffic. Every intersection has a pedestrian crosswalk whether or not there are painted lines on the street. Most crosswalks are at corners but they can also be in the middle of the block. Before turning a corner, watch for people about to cross the street. Pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks. Crosswalks are often marked with white lines. Yellow crosswalk lines may be painted at school crossings. Most often, crosswalks in residential areas are not marked. Some crosswalks have flashing lights to warn you that pedestrians may be crossing. Look for pedestrians and be prepared to stop, whether or not the lights are flashing. To get more information on this matter and other California motor vehicle laws goto http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/hdbk/driver_handbook_toc.htm and click on the PDF version of the drivers handbook.

Where are pedestrians not allowed to walk?
There is yes, at a controlled intersection where the pedestrian has a red hand or a "Do not walk". If the pedestrian ventures into the road while the red hand is lit, then you should do everything in your power to stop. If the pedestrian looks like they're going to venture into the crosswalk while you're approaching (with a green light) then you should honk at them to get their attention to stop them from entering the crosswalk.
If someone were crossing a street with a crosswalk and walked directly on the crosswalk line as they crossed would that by law be considered being in the crosswalk or being out of the crosswalk?
IN the crosswalk. They're not outside of the protected space until they cross the outer edge of the marked line and step onto the unmarked pavement.
