So, in heavy traffic, pedestrians are just supposed to stand there indefinitely? Or, they are supposed to risk their lives by actually stepping into the crosswalk (and oncoming traffic) hoping cars will stop?

What do you think the law says?

Well if pedestrian can't disregard incoming traffic, I'd say they would have to wait to cross. If it was that high of traffic, they could wait there indefinitely. Or, they could walk towards a stoplight and using the crossing light, there.
