which side of the road r u suppost to walk on? agaist traffic or with the traffic?

Question

and also is there a certain age where u have to b to walk alone?

Answer 1

With traffic.

Answer 2

No certain age but most concerned parents don't let their kids walk alone on a road with out sidewalks. You are supposed to walk against the flow of traffic.

Answer 3

Have to walk against the flow of traffic. About age? Not sure, but figure now a days, who would allow any child to walk alone.

Answer 4

You must when walking along a road with no pavement, walk against the traffic, as you can see them and hopefully they can see you, wearing something reflective also helps. In answer to your second question I belive it is around Nine or Ten years old. But Im a responsible parent, some are not.

Answer 5

This is in most Drivers Training Manuals...at least it's in Idaho's; always walk against traffic so that you can see if someones going to be too close and you can jump in the ditch (drivers who are impaired, etc.). When riding a bike, you go with traffic and obey all stop signs and lights as if you were an auto.

Answer 6

You always walk against the traffic. You ride your bike with the traffic. I am unsure of the age for being by yourself.

Answer 7

The answer to your question depends a lot on the situation. Say, if you're trying to hitch a ride you walk with the traffic, don't you? If you're walking on roads with side walks, you walk on the side walk, don't you? If you're on a highway there are usually wide shoulder to walk on both ways. If on a two way traffic without pedestrian I would advice you not to but if you don't have a choice go against the traffic, it's logical.

If you're planning to let your kids walk the street by themself, please don't. You yourself was unsure where to walk on how much more your little guys.

Answer 8

You should walk against the flow of traffic,and ride a bike with the flow of traffic(because you are considered a motor vehicle).

Answer 9

I learned in grade school to walk facing traffic if there is not a sidewalk. Walking with traffic is about as safe as using a sharp knife to cut vegetables behind your back.

Answer 10

You are supposed to walk against traffic

Answer 11

I decide "case-by-case" using a lot of factors; time of day/weather, traffic volume, number of lanes, sidewalk availability and so on.
Often I walk with headphones so I usually prefer against traffic. The logic being that if I'm going to eliminate one of my senses (hearing), I should be able to compensate with another (vision). I do so hate the idea of a skidding vehicle taking me out with no warning at all.
Naturally, staying away from the traffic entirely would be ideal, but...
Use your noodle and stay safe.
