As posted previously assuming others know the law and will follow it is a reach. The LAW is
bicycles are SUPPOSED to travel WITH traffic. Walkers are SUPPOSED TO walk facing traffic.
Yep! Always walk facing traffic. It is the safest option. Particularly considering the possibility/probability that the walker may be hearing impaired. "On your left" ! Do they hear you? Do they understand what you said? Who are you shouting at?
Always walk facing traffic.
