Explanation
Pedestrians are required to walk on a sidewalk when available. However, if there is no sidewalk, pedestrians must walk as far from the outside edge of the road as possible. In two-way traffic, pedestrians must walk facing oncoming traffic. This is because pedestrians are at high risk in traffic, and walking facing oncoming traffic allows them to see and react to approaching vehicles.
