Correct answer
Walking perpendicular to the carriageway's axis.
When pedestrians need to cross a carriageway where there is no marked crossing, it is essential that they do so safely and efficiently. The regulations establish that they must cross perpendicular to the carriageway's axis. This means that they must move in a straight line from one side of the road to the other, without deviating or taking diagonal or indirect routes. Crossing perpendicularly minimises the time pedestrians spend on the carriageway, thereby reducing the risk of accidents.
