saety tip for pedestrians on the road. walk on the right hand side of the road where there are no foot paths

In India in particular, we see lots of pedestrians using main roads.

as a car driver, one tends to think that the roads are designed for four wheelers.

in other words, two wheelers are taken as a nuisance

then imagine the case of pedestrians!

a car driver or bus or lorry driver often is blinded to these important road users.

then what precautions does one, as a pedestrian need to take to avoid being hit by these two or four or more wheelers



1. Be seen well

2. See yourself well

Be seen is the common way pedestrians use now

but what is more important is as a pedestrian see the traffic well.

This is best achieved if you walk in the right hand side of the road

where you can see the oncoming traffic

if you want a reference please refer to

rules for pedestrians for road safety

which side of the road should you walk

hope this helps

warm regards
