Understanding the Rules for Driving on the Left-Hand Pavement
Driving on the left-hand pavement is illegal except when accessing a property. When street repairs have blocked the pavements, drive cautiously and at a slow speed, as pedestrians might have to walk in the road
It may seem odd to some people to drive on the left side of the road. Traffic moves to the right in many nations. What will happen then if the left pavement is closed for repairs? The important thing to remember is that traffic flow remains the same. Use caution when driving on the right side of the road even if there may be obstructions on the left pavement. In order to avoid obstacles like debris or parked cars this may require moving closer to the center line.
Pedestrians may be forced to walk along the side of the road due to the closure of the left-hand pavement so be cautious when approaching them. Awaken your senses and give way to anyone walking. Remember that normal traffic flow regulations still apply during brief road closures. Remain vigilant, change positions when necessary and put everyone’s safety first when driving.
