Cevap

You should slow down, be prepared to stop, and give the pedestrians plenty of room when passing.
On roads without pavements, the Highway Code advises pedestrians to walk on the right side of the road facing oncoming traffic. Drivers must slow down, be prepared to stop if necessary, and pass giving them plenty of room.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the vulnerable road users and road layout
Recognise that pedestrians are walking on a road with no pavements, correctly facing oncoming traffic.
Pedestrians on rural roads without footpaths are highly vulnerable and share the carriageway.
2
Adopt safe passing procedures
Reduce speed, prepare to stop if the road is too narrow, and provide ample passing clearance.
Lower speeds and wide lateral clearance minimise the risk of collision and allow adequate reaction time.
