Default Walking in the diamond lanes
Ok, when walking in the diamond lane facing traffic. Am I responsible for getting Out of road or do I legally have the right away? Remember I'm walking in the direction facing traffic.

My thoughts are I am walking to see what's in front of me and take evasive action so I don't get hurt or cause and accident? I don't know the rules or if there are rules covering this? I feel it's my responsibility to get out or off street to prevent and accident or possible injury to myself.

Basically I don't want to be dead right holding my ground? I see this a lot, people not yeilding to possible dangerous situation when carts and cars are coming especially on blind corners where cart has to stop abruptly or worse case swerve out into traffic.
