Always walk on the left, towards traffic. Always!!!!! It's Florida law. You can look it up. I did. You need to see what is coming towards you so you can get out of the way if it becomes obvious the car doesn't see you. Just hearing the car behind you does not tell you if it is about to run you over. I learned this as a child. It is so much safer to see what it coming towards you. Bikes travel with traffic. Pedestrians walk against traffic!!
