Explanation
If there isn't a sidewalk reserved for pedestrians, they should walk on the side of the road facing oncoming traffic. Both pedestrians and drivers need to be cautious, as pedestrians may go unseen by vehicles traveling too fast or too close to the edge of the road. When walking in a group, pedestrians must stay in a single file rather than walking side by side.
