As a general rule, on which part of the road must pedestrians walk in urban areas?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In urban areas (built-up areas), road safety requires separation between vehicles and pedestrians. Therefore, the general rule obliges pedestrians to walk on sidewalks, platforms, or walkways designated for them. The correct answer is 'On the right sidewalk, unless obstructed' because it is the only option that mentions using the sidewalk (pedestrian zone). The other options suggest walking on the roadway (vehicle zone), which is prohibited if there are usable pedestrian areas. While pedestrians can generally use sidewalks on either side in urban areas, the option pointing to the sidewalk is the only correct one compared to the alternatives of invading the roadway.
