I first thought you were talking about waving to pedestrians to cross when you stop to let them go. Which (edit: stopping and waiting) is a correct and expected behaviour, afaik
Stopping for pedestrians at cross walks is correct, but you should never be waving at anyone to go.
When you wave at people to go they are less likely to check that the other lanes are safe for them to cross. You stop and look right at them so they know you see them and wait until they go on their own.
That was about what I meant, but thanks for expressing this, sorry I was vague.
That's fine. That's telling a pedestrian you have seen them and are obeying the rules of the road. That's reasonable.
