    As someone originally from Hungary: as a kid I was taught I should walk on the left (if there is no pavement), so I could see the cars I’d be sharing the side of the road with. So technically it should all be reversed everywhere.

    Also there is no consistent walking side tendency anywhere, and just walking to/through the shops you’d know that. Brits might do a queue but see if you can predict which side they’ll be walking on, and it’s no different elsewhere.

      Same in the U.S., I was always taught to walk/bicycle on the left side of the road if there wasn’t a sidewalk in order to see approaching traffic.
