On a conventional road, is a pedestrian allowed to walk on the carriageway?
Right of way
Explanation
On a conventional road, **pedestrians may walk on the roadway** when there is no **shoulder** or it is not passable. The shoulder is the lateral part of the road, and it is intended for pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles. If it does not exist or cannot be used, pedestrians are allowed to walk on the roadway.
Additionally, it is important for pedestrians to follow certain safety rules when walking on roads outside urban areas. For example, they should walk on the left side of the road to see oncoming traffic and, at night, wear luminous or reflective elements to be visible to drivers.
These measures ensure that pedestrians can walk safely when there is no shoulder available.
