Question 6999
On a road outside a built-up area where there is no pedestrian zone or usable shoulder, is a pedestrian allowed to walk on the roadway?
- Yes, as long as they take the proper precautions.
- Only if they are pulling a small non-motorized vehicle.
- No, never.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, as long as they take the proper precautions.
Yes. If there is no pedestrian zone or usable shoulder, pedestrians may walk on the roadway, staying close to the edge, taking precautions and not obstructing traffic. Any pedestrian may do this, not just someone pulling a small vehicle. In the picture, the man is walking on his left, close to the edge.
