Reverse this for the UK, Australia, Japan, etc
I get you should look left immediately before stepping into the street as that’s where a car will be. But why twice?

If they’re in a fast moving traffic jam and braking to let you in would fuck everyone up. If they’re going faster than you and heading into the gap you need and braking to let you in would fuck them up.
Use some common sense. Signal without an immediate space available if the cars in your way have a reasonable way to let you in. Don’t invite a pile up because you feel entitled to the space regardless.

We’re in different countries, so there will be differences in driving culture. But signalling when you know no one can do anything about it is pointless. And potentially dangerous, if they think you’re going to do it anyway and take action to avoid a crash, or try to be too helpful and cause a problem in doing so.
