Yes. Pedestrians already have right of way over a vehicle turning
into a side road, but it's a perilous right to exercise.

As far as I remember, as far as I could make out the last time this
question arose, and referring to whichever legislation applies rather
than just the Highway Code, pedestrians have priority over a vehicle
turning from a side road into a main road too, i.e. it doesn't matter
which way around the road priorities are.
