The countryside

What should I do if I live in the countryside where there is no footpath?

If you are in a rural area without footpaths, you should walk on the
right-hand side of the road to face oncoming traffic.

This may seem more frightening than walking with your back to the
cars, but it is safer because it means you can see vehicles coming
and can step out of their way if you need to.

If there is a footpath, however, you should use it – but still be aware
of the traffic at all times!

Vehicles can travel very fast on narrow, dark country lanes. Never walk
on these roads at night and be very careful when walking along these roads during daylight. Keep to the edge of the road and wear bright, visible clothing.
