BDifficulty 2/5

Outside a built-up area, with no usable pedestrian area and no exception requiring or justifying the right side, on which side should a pedestrian walk?

Correct answer

On the left.

On the left, using a shoulder if present and usable, otherwise the carriageway, as far from vehicle traffic as possible. The right side may be used for justified safety reasons; it is required for people pushing a cycle, two-wheeled moped, personal mobility vehicle or similar, and organised pedestrian groups. Do not choose a side merely by habit: stay near the outer edge and avoid risks.
