Correct answer
On the left shoulder, away from traffic.
On the left shoulder in the walking direction, as far from vehicle traffic and as close to its outer edge as possible. If a shoulder is absent or unusable, the carriageway is used under the rule. Article 122 includes safety exceptions and cases requiring the right-hand side, which do not apply here. Walking on the left is not merely a preference under these conditions.
