Correct answer
- ASí.Yes.
On roads outside built-up areas, pedestrians must walk on the left, because this lets them see the vehicles coming towards them and avoid dangerous situations. Article 122 of the General Traffic Regulations states that outside built-up areas pedestrians must walk on the left. So the correct answer is that the pedestrian is walking correctly on their left.
