BDifficulty 2/5

On a road allowing pedestrian traffic, a wheelchair user with pedestrian status has no usable pedestrian area. If a usable left shoulder exists and no safety reason requires using the right, may they travel along that left shoulder?

Correct answer

Yes, along the left shoulder under the stated conditions.

Yes. Where there is no usable pedestrian area, current article 122.1 specifies the left shoulder if present and usable, or otherwise the carriageway, always as far from vehicle traffic as possible. The right side is used exceptionally for safety reasons or in paragraph 2 situations; do not assume every wheelchair user must always travel on the right. Keep close to the outer edge, carefully and without obstructing traffic. This concerns a person with pedestrian status on a road allowing pedestrian traffic, not every powered reduced-mobility vehicle.
