Where should a pedestrian pushing a small cart walk if they might obstruct others?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The general rule requires pedestrians to walk in pedestrian zones (sidewalks). However, Traffic Regulations include exceptions to ensure safety and flow. If a pedestrian is pushing a small non-motorized vehicle (like a handcart) or carrying bulky objects, and their presence on the sidewalk would significantly obstruct other pedestrians, they are authorized to use the shoulder (arcén) or, if one does not exist, the edge of the roadway (calzada). Therefore, it is not mandatory to always use the sidewalk nor always use the road; it depends on whether or not an obstruction is caused.
