Outside built-up areas, as a general rule on roads that do not have a pedestrian area, on which side of the road must pedestrians walk?
Basic concepts
Explanation
When **pedestrians walk on roads outside of town**, they must do so **on the left**. This is because walking on the left allows pedestrians to see oncoming vehicles in their direction. In this way, they can react in time to any dangerous situation.
- **Walking on the left** is the general rule, as it provides greater safety by allowing pedestrians better visibility of approaching traffic.
- Only in exceptional situations, when it is safer, could walking on the right be considered, but this is not the usual norm.
Therefore, the correct option is to walk on the left, as it maximizes pedestrian safety by allowing them to anticipate and avoid potential road hazards.
