As a German, I learned this as a rule. Outside of towns when there is no sidewalk, always walk on the left side, against oncoming traffic. From the StVO, the law, the road traffic regulations, §25 section 1, first paragraph (German): https://www.stvo.de/strassenverkehrsordnung/108-25-fussgaenger https://www.stvo.de/strassenverkehrsordnung/108-25-fussgaeng... > außerhalb geschlossener Ortschaften muss am linken Fahrbahnrand gegangen werden "Outside of towns pedestrians have to walk on the left side" Just an aside, while looking at that website, the banner image at the top looks clearly seems to be of an American road. On a German website about German road laws.
