As stated above, walking facing traffic is the safest choice.
Btw, when riding your bike, riding w/traffic is the safer choice. In that case, the bigger danger is people making right turns onto the roadway you are traveling from side streets. By habit, drivers entering a road and making a right turn will look for traffic coming from their left... if you are riding against traffic, they frequently will not look for/see you approaching them from their right (riding against traffic). Often with fatal consequences.
