I have used the intersections at the lights to cross on Sunset Rd (wait in the median strip) but find this a bit difficult as you still have to cope with traffic turning etc as you cross.
Now I walk along a bit away from the lights.
Cross when there's a break in traffic, wait in the median strip and then cross when there's a gap that side :)
But that is not a huge 5/6 road intersection like near where you are
I wouldn't be doing the hand waving thingy along Sunset Rd
Ok on smaller roads & gangs where traffic has slowed but Sunset Rd..is fast
From Legian Guesthouse you could walk the other way to Imam Bonjol/Raya Kuta and bypass that huge intersection altogether
Map below of the area around there
Legian Guesthouse is near Mang Engking

I'd also take advantage of the free bike transport :)
