Yet there are some posts on TOTV suggesting that I should walk on the right if there is no motorized traffic in that location.
Why the difference? Surely if we all walked on the left all of the time then no-one would bump into each other and, should some traffic appear (even if it is just a pedal bike), we would know well in advance?
Thank you

I've been a runner for over 40 years and always run against traffic so I can see whats coming. That includes the mm paths.
The only exception for me is sidewalks, I run on the right side
