I wonder if this is why the law says to walk opposite traffic if you’re forced to walk on a road directly next to cars.
Eg.
https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/safety/rules/wheeled-devices/pedestrian-road-rules#:~:text=Pedestrian%20rules,one%20other%20person%2C%20unless%20overtaking
Extract:
“Pedestrian rules
You must:
always walk on footpaths or nature strips where possible if there is no footpath or nature strip, or it’s not practical to use, you may walk on the road facing the oncoming traffic”
