Pedestrians walking along an open highway should do what?

walk on the side of the road facing the oncoming traffic

Answer 2

Pedestrians should always walk toward traffic while on any road or highway where there is no sidewalk. That way they can see the on coming traffic and step away from the road if needed. This is also a safety rule to help prevent a walket from being picked up by a motorist. Most likely a motorist on the opposite side of the road will not stop if you are going the other way and if one does stop coming toward you, you have time to get away from the road if you need to. Bicyclists should be on the same side of the road as the traffic going in the same direction being aware of where the vehicles are and staying on the shoulder as much as possible. Both petestrians and Bicyclists should wear clothing that is bright and has light reflectors on them for their protection.
