- No.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, under certain conditions.
Yes. If there is no pedestrian area or usable shoulder, pedestrians may walk on the roadway, both inside and outside built-up areas, but under certain conditions. They must walk close to the edge, in single file, cautiously and without obstructing traffic, and generally on their left. On roads outside built-up areas, at night or in poor visibility, they must also carry or wear a light-emitting or reflective item. In the image, the man is walking along the edge of a road without a shoulder, facing the cars.
