On a road outside a built-up area where there is no pedestrian zone or passable shoulder, is a pedestrian permitted to walk on the roadway?

# Explanation On roads outside built-up areas without a pedestrian zone or passable shoulder, pedestrians **can walk on the roadway**, but they must take all necessary precautions for their safety. This means staying as far away from traffic as possible, preferably walking against the direction of vehicle traffic so as to see approaching traffic. This rule ensures that pedestrians are not left without an alternative for travel.
