Explanation
Pedestrians must not walk on the roadway if a sidewalk is available. If a roadway doesn't have a sidewalk, pedestrians should always walk on the shoulder on the left side, facing traffic. They may cross the road when there is a crosswalk or at an intersection, but if they wish to cross the road that doesn't have a crosswalk, they must yield the right-of-way to vehicles.
