It is only common sense. Walk on the left, whether road or MMP, so that you can see traffic coming toward you and move or get out of the way if someone has a medical emergency, is inattentive or looses control. While it doesn't guarantee you will not be hit it improves your chances. If you walk with traffic, you don't know if anyone coming up behind your sees you or is capable of controling their vehicle or bike. It is SAFER on the left side and that's what it's all about.
A couple of years ago a woman was killed in TVs when walking in the road with traffic. I don't remember if it was a car or golf cart but it makes no difference. She didn't see it coming and was killed!
