BDifficulty 2/5

On a road open to pedestrians, must drivers also respect pedestrians’ right to use it under the rules?

Correct answer

Yes, observing the duties and rules applicable to each user.

Yes. Pedestrians are road users and must be respected and protected from unnecessary inconvenience or danger, with every user observing their duties. This does not mean pedestrians and drivers may access all the same roads or always have the same priority. For example, Article 125 generally prohibits pedestrians on motorways and dual carriageways, subject to regulatory exceptions; crossings and pedestrian areas have their own rules.
