highway. The traveled portion of the highway includes the shoulder.1
If you find that (pedestrian) was on the left side of the highway as (he) (she) walked
on and along it, then it became (pedestrian)’s duty upon meeting a vehicle, if it could be
practicably done by (him) (her), to step to the extreme outer limits of the traveled portion
of the highway.
