You’re walking along a path and another person approaches from the opposite direction.
Do you tilt your head to signify which direction around them you intend to go? Is that head tilt understood by others?
Should we start pointing also?
Install hand blinkers?
I choose right too because America drives on the right. Interestingly, Japanese tend to walk on the right too despite driving on the left.
The left vs right thing in Japan depends on the city. Particularly for escalators. Some places will have signs that say to stand on left while others say to stand on right. Others also say not to walk on the escalator, but people always ignore that.
Some recreational trails will have signage reminding people to keep to the right unless passing around someone
I feel like that’s generally understood to be the standard
When I’m walking, bikes are all over the place. When I’m biking, walkers are in the center and jump to a random side when they hear a bike behind them.
