Question 4670
If there are no pedestrian zones in a built-up area, where must pedestrians walk?
- On their left as a general rule, and on their right when safety reasons justify it.
- Always on their left.
- Always on their right.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: On their left as a general rule, and on their right when safety reasons justify it.
If there is no usable pedestrian area in the city, pedestrians must use the shoulder or, if there is none, the roadway, as far from cars as possible. The rule about which side to use is the same as on roads outside built-up areas. As a general rule, they must walk on their left, facing approaching vehicles, and on their right when there are safety reasons to do so.
