On a road outside a built-up area that does not have a pedestrian area, as a general rule, on which side must pedestrians walk?
Basic concepts
Explanation
Pedestrians walking on **roads outside built-up areas** must do so on the **left side** of the road. This is because, by walking on the left, pedestrians can face oncoming vehicles in the nearest lane. This allows them to react in time to any dangerous situation, thus increasing their safety.
The only exception to this rule is if, for some reason, it is safer to walk on the right, although this is uncommon. Additionally, at night, pedestrians must wear luminous or reflective elements to be visible to drivers from a considerable distance, which also contributes to their safety.
