You drive on a rural road that has no sidewalks. On which side of the road does Vermont law tell pedestrians to walk when it is practical?
A rural two-way road runs vertically and has shoulders but no sidewalks. Blue A travels north and silver B south. There is no pedestrian or selected walking side in the question.
Correct answer: On the left side, facing oncoming traffic.
Why
Where there is no sidewalk, Vermont law says a pedestrian should walk on the left side of the roadway or its shoulder, facing oncoming traffic, when practical. This lets walkers see approaching vehicles and step aside. As a driver, expect people on your side of the road walking toward you, give them plenty of room, and watch the road edges at dawn, dusk and night.
