Correct answer

Under Article 122.1 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), as worded by RD 518/2026, when there is no usable pedestrian area, pedestrians must walk on the left-hand hard shoulder or, if there is none, on the carriageway, and only exceptionally on the right-hand side when there are safety reasons that justify it.
Excepcionalmente, los peatones podrán circular por el lado derecho en el sentido de su marcha cuando existan razones de seguridad que así lo justifiquen.Read the full rule
