If there is no sidewalk or it is not passable, on which part of the road are pedestrians required to walk?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations establish a priority order for pedestrian safety. In the absence of pedestrian zones (sidewalks, walkways), pedestrians must walk on the shoulder (if passable). Only if there is no shoulder or it cannot be used, are they allowed to walk on the roadway, but strictly limited to the edge of it. It is essential to do so with caution to avoid impeding vehicle traffic and to ensure visibility. Walking 'directly on the road without restrictions' is incorrect as it is extremely dangerous.
