It is said pedestrians should walk at the side of the road against (and away from) vehicular traffic, so they would visually see the vehicle coming towards them and thus know if/when to walk more to the side, so as to avoid collision.

This way, both the driver and the pedestrian see each other. A safety precaution it would seem
