BDifficulty 2/5

Outside a built-up area, with no usable pedestrian area but an adequate, usable hard shoulder, where must a pedestrian walk?

Correct answer

On the adequate, usable hard shoulder.

On the hard shoulder. Use the carriageway under the rules only if no shoulder exists or it is not passable. Outside built-up areas, the general rule is to walk on the left; exceptions include safety reasons and people pushing cycles, two-wheeled mopeds or personal mobility vehicles, and directed groups, who use the right. On shoulder or carriageway, walk near the outer edge and in single file when safety requires it.
