Is there an accepted set of rules for walking on the sidewalk? I've always felt that sidewalks should be treated like roads. For example, if you live in the United States, you should walk on the right side of the sidewalk (like you drive on the right side of the road), pass on the left, & if you have to stop, move over so you aren't blocking the progress of others.

Obviously, Brits & other left-side-driving weirdos should also walk on the left side of the sidewalk.

Do these simple rules exist only in my own head, or do other people know them too?

No matter where you live, there's no cure for tourists. The whole point of their visit to your home city is to walk around slowly, gawping at all the pretty.

We've got herds of them here in SF, too.

Oy - no kidding!

It makes me want to start carrying around an electrified spork and shout, "Git along little dawgies!" as I poke them in their asses.
