Number 4 states:
“Where sidewalks are not provided any pedestrian walking along and upon a highway shall, when practicable, walk only on the shoulder on the LEFT side of the roadway in relation to the pedestrian direction of travel facing traffic which may approach from the opposite direction”.
And IMO When more than one single file when traffic present. Walking two or more abreast not sharing the path or diamond lane it hogging it when traffic coming and has to stop cause of special walker’s.
