CONCERNED PARENT,
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C.
DEAR CONCERNED
PARENT: What’s probably
causing your confusion is that
the rules are different for
bicycle riders and pedestri-
ans. People on bikes are
required by law to “go with
the flow" of traffic. However,
according to the National
Highway Traffic Safety
Administration:
(1) If you must walk on a
roadway and sidewalks are
unavailable, always walk
FACING the oncoming traf-
fic. This will allow you to
take evasive action if a vehi-
cle comes into your path.
(2) Before stepping into
ate your concern for chil-
dren's safety and your dedica-
tion to getting helpful infor-
mation out to the public.
In a recent column, you
printed a letter regarding a
young man who was hit and
killed by a car. My sympa-
thies to the parents and fami-
ly for their loss. That letter
raised a question in our
household. If you are walk
ing, and no sidewalk is avail-
able, on which side of the
road should you walk?
When I was involved in
scouting, the rule was to walk
facing traffic. However, I
recently heard that pedestri-
ans should walk “with” the
traffic. Can you please
address this issue and let
everyone know what is the
correct side of the road to
walk on? It may also be
appropriate to mention the
side of the road bicyclers
should travel. Thanks! —
