"Solid White Line
A solid white line marks the right edge of the roadway or separates lanes of traffic moving in the same direction. You may travel in the same direction on both sides of this line, but you should not cross the line unless you must do so to avoid a hazard."


Copied from Florida Drivers Handbook.

I would think moving over to avoid a hazard would include moving over to avoid hitting a pedestrian or bicyclist.

I would expect pedestrians to use sidewalks where available. Where not available I move over, slow down or even stop depending on the traffic behind me. A lot of our pedestrians no longer possess the agility to hop up on the curb.
