  • Actually, in Hungary (at least when I was a kid) they thought us, pedestrians, to use the left side, although this was more important when there was no sidewalk. The reason is, drivers might not see pedestrians very well, especially at night, but pedestrians do have a higher chance to see cars, as cars are usually illuminated. The pedestrian is facing forward, so it’s easy to see and react when a car is coming. But from behind? They’ll pass on the right side of the road, so there should be plenty of clearance.

    And I was legit surprised when I moved to Germany, pedestrians here are using the right side.
