Where must pedestrians walk if there is no pedestrian area or it is not usable?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The regulations establish a priority order for pedestrians walking along the road. Firstly, they must use pedestrian zones (sidewalks, walkways). If these do not exist or are not practicable (e.g., under construction or obstructed), the pedestrian must use the shoulder. If the shoulder also does not exist or is not practicable, then walking on the roadway is permitted, occupying the minimum area essential to do so safely. Therefore, the correct answer is 'on the shoulder or the roadway', as it covers both subsidiary situations allowed by the regulations.
