Correct answer: on any road, outside or inside a built-up area.

When passing a pedestrian, like the one wearing a reflective vest in the image, you must leave at least 1.5 meters of lateral clearance on any road, inside or outside a built-up area. If the roadway has more than one lane in your direction, you must move entirely into another lane.
