Question 6990

On a conventional road, is a pedestrian allowed to walk on the roadway?

  1. No.
  2. Yes, when there is no shoulder or it is not usable.
  3. Yes, when pulling a vehicle.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, when there is no shoulder or it is not usable.

Yes, when there is no shoulder or it cannot be used. Pedestrians must use the pedestrian area first, then the shoulder, and the roadway as a last resort, staying as far from cars as possible. In the image, the man is walking along the left edge of the roadway, facing the approaching car, because there is no shoulder. Pulling a vehicle does not give anyone special permission to use the roadway.
