On which side of the road must pedestrians pushing a cycle or a small handcart walk?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is walk on the right. Although the general traffic rule states that pedestrians must walk on the left (facing oncoming traffic) on roads outside built-up areas for better visibility and safety, there are specific exceptions. The General Traffic Regulations stipulate that pedestrians must walk on the right (with the flow of traffic) if they are: Pushing or dragging a bicycle or two-wheeled moped. Pushing handcarts or similar apparatus. Using a wheelchair. Part of a led group of people or procession. This rule exists to prevent the bulky object or vehicle from dangerously encroaching into the oncoming lane and to maintain an orderly flow of traffic.
