Survey of Korean pedestrians' natural preference for walking directions
The majority of pedestrians preferred walking on the right side, regardless of the location. No significant differences were found in the preferred walking direction by age or gender. Significant discrepancies in the preferred walking direction depending on pedestrians'dominant hand and foot exist. Left-handed and footed pedestrians are more likely to the Left-hand Traffic rules, while right-handed and footed are on the right side. The dominant hand appears to have a greater impact on the pedestrian's preferred walking direction than the dominant foot.
