Uphill climb

Is jogging/walking in a bike lane, facing into car traffic, safe?

I'm lazy, so I won't check with city laws, but it's not illegal, it should be.

I've seen this twit of the female persuasion three times now, trudging uphill near my apartment, facing traffic, in the bike lane.

When she gets hit by a car, will the driver be punished? Probably, even though it will be her fault.

There's an asphalt-paved sidewalk on the other side of the four-lane street. Maybe she can't see it because of the elegant bushes and trees in the median and on that side of the street. They are budding out right now.
