|
|
In the same direction as traffic.
|
|
|
Facing oncoming traffic.

Explanation
When no sidewalk or footpath is available, pedestrians must walk facing oncoming traffic while staying as far right as practicable. This facing-traffic position enables pedestrians to see approaching vehicles and react if necessary. Both pedestrians and drivers should exercise extra caution in these situations, as roadway walking significantly increases safety risks. Pedestrians should remain particularly alert after dark or in poor visibility conditions, and drivers must slow down and provide ample space when passing.
