BDifficulty 2/5

On a road outside a built-up area with no pedestrian area, as a general rule, on which side must pedestrians travel?

Correct answer

On their left.

On their left as a general rule, using the shoulder if usable or otherwise the carriageway, close to the outer edge. This lets them face approaching traffic on that side travelling opposite to their walking direction. Walk on the right if safety requires it; specific cases also exist, including people walking cycles or two-wheel mopeds and led groups.
