I reside in a nation where driving is done on the right side of the street. I’ve noticed that, for the most part (unless distracted by their phones, are intentionally flexing, or just being inconsiderate), most folks from a similar background, also seem to tend to walk on the right side of two-way paths, sidewalks, etc, and tend to “dodge” or veer right when encountering oncoming fellow pedestrians.
Is the reverse the trend for pedestrians in regions where folks drive on the left side of streets (UK, Japan, India, Australia, etc)?
Right side roads here, tend to follow the same pattern on sidewalks and hallways for consistency and that seems to work out for everyone.
When walking on a road itself, walk into traffic (left side) so you can see if you need to move out of the way. Bikes go the same direction because they are grouped in with vehicles.
