Where should the pedestrians walk?
It is always recommended to use the footpath while walking on roads. Where there is no footpath, one should walk facing the oncoming traffic. In countries with left-hand traffic system (like India), one should walk on the right side of the road.
What is pedestrian safety?
Follow the rules of the road and obey signs and signals. Walk on sidewalks whenever they are available. If there is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic and as far from traffic as possible. Cross streets at crosswalks or intersections. Look for cars in all directions, including those turning left or right.
What is the rule at a 4 way stop?
When two vehicles arrive at a 4-way stop at the same time side-by-side, the vehicle furthest to the right has the right of way. If three vehicles arrive at the same time, the car furthest left should continue to yield until both of the other cars to the right of them have passed.
When should pedestrians walk?
Pedestrians must always walk against traffic. Walk as close to the left side of the road possible using the shoulder or sidewalk, if available. When attempting to cross, always look left, right, and left again. Use crosswalks and obey crossing signals.
Why do pedestrians walk from footpaths?
Footpaths or sidewalks can reduce crash risk by separating vehicles and pedestrians. In urban areas, raised footpaths are often part of the road cross-section. In rural areas footpaths are often not provided, even where pedestrian volumes are high.
Should pedestrians keep left or right?
Yes, pedestrians should have the right of way but the roads are designed to be used by various forms of transport, so please give yourself and other road users the best possible chance when sharing the roads by walking on the correct side of the road.
