CMV: People walking/biking in public places should adhere to the same "rules of the road" as when they're driving cars on public roadways.

As the title states, I have believed all my life that when walking in public areas, especially those with heavy foot traffic, we should behave with the same actions as if we were driving cars. 


if you drive on the right side of the roads, you should walk to your right on the sidewalk, same goes for if you drive on the left side of the roads, you should walk to your left. Or not stepping out in front of other people that are clearly going straight, look around corners before stepping out into the main isle of the super market, look over your shoulder to see what's behind you before coming to a dead stop ect. 



The sheer mindlessness and selfishness some people exhibit in public has bothered me for my whole adult life and I'm starting to think that I have the unpopular opinion here.

I’ve always been taught to walk on the opposite side of the road, if no sidewalk, so that way you can see when someone is coming especially if the road is close to the curb/walk space. 

People not paying attention is a huge problem. Some are like me and look at their phone because they don’t want to be seen. Much less accidentally look in someone’s direction.
