In urban areas, as a general rule, where are pedestrians required to walk?
Basic concepts
Explanation
Pedestrians in urban areas must walk on the sidewalks whenever possible. This is a general rule applied to ensure pedestrian safety and prevent accidents with vehicles on the roadway.
- **Sidewalks**: These are areas designated for the safe transit of pedestrians, separated from the roadway where vehicles travel.
- Pedestrians have **priority** on sidewalks and other pedestrian areas, meaning vehicles must yield to them in these areas.
- In situations where sidewalks are not available, pedestrians may use the shoulder, but this is an exception and not the general rule.
Therefore, the correct option is that pedestrians should walk on the sidewalks in urban areas.
