Who has priority at a raised pedestrian crossing (not a zebra crossing)?

Question:
This is a bit in the road (not near a junction) with a raised table, so that pedestrians can cross at the same level as the pavement. It does not have any zebra stripes, nor yellow flashing lights etc. It is marked only by triangular signs saying "Raised pedestrian crossing".

You do not have to give way at any crossing except at those that are controlled by lights but courtesy would suggest you give way if it is safe for you to stop. The point of crossings is to encourage pedestrians to cross the road at crossings

Pedestrians always have right of way and are identified in the Highway Code as being the most vulnerable road users (along with cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders). Road crossings of whatever type are intended to provide safer crossing points than elsewhere. Drivers who fail to comply with crossing regulations commit a specific crossing offence in addition to any other offence e.g. reckless driving, that may be committed. If pedestrians cross a road elsewhere than at a proper crossing, that does not entitle a driver to run over them with impunity - the driver will always have to justify himself or herself, even if the pedestrian was suicidal.
The Highway Code, referring to junctions but will probably also apply elsewhere, states that if pedestrians have already started to cross the road (before you get to them, that is), they will have priority, so give way.
Lastly, even on motorways, where pedestrians are prohibited except in an emergency, they have a right not to be run down.
A pedestrian ALWAYS has a right to cross any public road except a motorway. There is no such thing as a pedestrian not having such a right. There is no jay-walking law in the UK.
The person asking the original question raised the matter of priority and queried the need to give way to 'waiting' pedestrians. Waiting pedestrians on a non-regulatory crossing place are just that -waiting, which puts no extra or special obligation on the mechanised road user. If the pedestrian is in the road, whether at a crossing or not, the mechanised user is not entitled to treat the pedestrian as a trespasser - not in any circumstances. I am not making this up; this is not my opinion - it is fact and the law of the land.

A pedestrian has no right to cross a road, except at correctly marked places, with priority over vehicles. Of course common sense says you cannot just run them over.

A confusion sometimes occurs at junctions when pedestrians have priority over traffic turning into the road they are crossing, that is because the traffic is joining that road, not already on it.
