When there is no pedestrian area or it is not usable, are pedestrians allowed to walk on the hard shoulder?
Basic concepts
Explanation
Pedestrians may walk on the **shoulder** when there is no pedestrian area or it is not practicable. The shoulder is the lateral part of the road, located to the right and left of the carriageway, and is mainly intended for the use of pedestrians and certain non-motorized vehicles.
- If there is no shoulder or it cannot be used, pedestrians may walk on the **carriageway**, but they must do so with caution and only when necessary.
It is important to remember that motor vehicles must not drive on the shoulder, which allows pedestrians to use it more safely.
