BDifficulty 3/5

On a conventional road without a usable pedestrian area, when must a pedestrian use the carriageway instead of the shoulder?

Correct answer

When there is no usable shoulder.

When there is no usable shoulder. Stay as far from traffic as possible and walk carefully near the outer edge, in single file. The left side is the general rule; the right is allowed for justified safety reasons and required for supervised groups and people pushing or pulling cycles, two-wheeled mopeds, personal mobility vehicles or similar vehicles.
