On an urban road with usable pavements or pedestrian areas, where should pedestrians normally walk?

Correct answer

On usable pavements or pedestrian areas, without a general requirement to choose the right-hand pavement.

Use usable pavements or pedestrian areas. The rules in force since 1 October 2026 do not impose a general requirement to use the pavement on the right in the direction of travel. Pavements are reserved for pedestrian movement and presence. If no usable pedestrian area exists, pedestrians may use the shoulder and, if it does not exist or is unusable, the carriageway, taking extra care and without obstructing traffic. Applicable signs and municipal rules must also be followed.
