Would you walk past this tree?!? I usually walk on the opposite side of the road!

We have had some serious wind and rain this year .  Have you seen an increase in the lean over a period of time ?  If not It might stay like this for a few years yet . Does the crown look healthy ?

Would really need to see a pic of the stem at ground level and the area surrounding it along with the upper half of the canopy to make a proper judgement. It's a big lean but it may have many years left if its healthy.
On balance, crossing the road to avoid the tree may be more dangerous than walking below the tree!

Tree seems healthy and looks to be compensating for its lean, to a point. I'd regard it as being at higher risk of it failing in waterlogged/wet conditions and/or high winds.
A site visit would be required to properly assess the tree, if its your tree I'd recommend you getting a local tree care company to survey it.
