darin3 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I voted "don't care", but I believe the safest and recommended thing to do is walk with traffic coming towards you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Country Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I voted "don't care", but I believe the safest and recommended thing to do is walk with traffic coming towards you. I voted to walk against traffic, but IIRC, I thought the reccomended is to walk with traffic, much like riding a bicycle. I prefer to walk against it so I can see anything coming at me. Will have to go check up on my road safety information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinL Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Gotta go against traffic. Count on yourself to see (and avoid) the oncoming cars. Don't count on the car behind you to see you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonorator Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 it all depends on which side of the road i'm walking on in regards to whether i'm walking toward or against traffic. thanks for the opportunity to respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I think the general "rule of thumb" has always been walkers go against traffic, bicyclists go with traffic. Makes sense.... If you get creamed as a pedestrian, it's not going to hurt any less if you're going with traffic versus against. At least you stand a chance if you can see it coming.

Azazello1313 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Walking - against Bike riding - with yes, indeed. better to see that truck mirror coming at you than to have it clobber you in the back of the head. i think in some places it is not only recommended that you walk against traffic, but also required by law. could be wrong about the law thing, but i am 100% certain that walking/jogging against traffic is what "they" recommend.

PSULions Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Unfortunately for Ramses (UNC mascot) he was walking with traffic getting a soda at the local convenience store and was struck by an SUV. The kid l lived right around the corner from my house and it was very sad for the entire area to lose one of there own. He never saw what hit him, where as if he was walking against traffic, he could have dove into a ditch to avoid getting hit. Too late for him, but the answer to this poll is "Against" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I prefer to see what is going to kill me. For this reason alone, I do not swim in areas heavily infested with sharks. If you are riding a bike on the street, then yes - ride with the traffic. You can cause a hazard riding against traffic. But on foot? Definitely against.

SteelBunz Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I'd sort of vote for walking on a sidewalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I'd sort of vote for walking on a sidewalk. In the north, the streets are wider with sidewalks more likely. Around here, there was a lot of narrow 2-lane roads with no shoulders nor sidewalks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
