Question 4684

When there is no pedestrian zone, or it is not passable, may pedestrians walk on the shoulder?

  1. Yes, or if that is not possible, on the roadway.
  2. Only on urban roads; outside a built-up area they may not walk.
  3. No, they must walk on the roadway.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, or if that is not possible, on the roadway.

Yes. If there is no pedestrian area or it cannot be used, pedestrians must walk on the shoulder or, if there is no usable shoulder either, on the roadway, as far from cars as possible. This applies in cities and on roads outside built-up areas.
