C-24.2, r. 37.1.01 - Pilot project for traffic on public highways comprising a roadway with a two-way centre lane
Section 34
Disposition versions
34. Despite section 453 of the Highway Safety Code (chapter C-24.2), where there is no sidewalk bordering a roadway with a two-way centre lane, a pedestrian must use the left-hand multifunctional lane or left-hand shoulder.
Despite the first paragraph, a pedestrian may use the right-hand multifunctional lane or right-hand shoulder to avoid having to cross the roadway more than once over a short distance, or to travel on the lighted side of the public highway or the side where the shoulder is widest, after ensuring that it is possible to do so in safety. A pedestrian may do likewise when accompanying the user of a motorized mobility aid travelling along that lane or shoulder.
The first paragraph does not apply in a case of necessity.
