Where must pedestrians circulate if a pedestrian area does not exist or is not practicable?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Regulations establish a priority order for pedestrian circulation. 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 circulating 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.
