BDifficulty 2/5

Outside a built-up area, a pedestrian walks alone without pushing or pulling a vehicle, and there is no usable pedestrian area. May they walk on their right?

Correct answer

Only exceptionally, if there are reasons of greater safety.

Normally use the left shoulder if it exists and is usable, or otherwise the carriageway, staying as far from traffic as possible. Walking on the right is allowed when justified by safety. Article 122 also specifies cases where the right is compulsory, such as led groups or people pushing certain vehicles; the question excludes those cases.
