on the left side, facing the vehicles.

Explanation:

Pedestrians are equal members of traffic, as any driver or bicycle rider. Of course, for them, the route should be as safe as the main car roads. It is always recommendable to walk on sidewalks, but if there are no sidewalks, pedestrians should pay attention.

If there are no sidewalks, a pedestrian should face the vehicles that are coming towards him. This way the risk of not seeing the car is lower.

If you are a cyclist, you should ride on the right side of the road, following the car. So, pedestrians should walk on the left side and cyclists on the right side.

Of course, not in every country, this rule is valuable. In countries like the UK and India, where the vehicles system is on the left side, pedestrians should walk on the right side.
