We were always taught to walk "facing traffic"--- so in the US, coming or going, you're on the left (after crossing the road to come back) where you and cars face each other. This is so both you and drivers clearly see each other. Pedestrians should move as far onto the shoulder as possible with oncoming traffic, even if it means you stepping off into weeds or standing still to let the driver pass by. For example, a pedestrian might need to wait 30-feet before a sign along the road, because there wouldn't be enough room for the pedestrian and vehicle to share the lane especially if cars are coming in the opposite direction. Note: While not required by law, reflective clothing/stripes help drivers see you.
Bikers "reverse" the above. Bikers travel "with traffic" and use hand signals to indicate the biker's intentions. You'd go down the right; come back on the left, both with cars' fronts going the same direction as the biker. While pedestrians should step off onto the shoulder or further to let cars pass, bikers and drivers must share the road (with the biker as far to the edge as possible. So it is up to the driver to go around the biker and to anticipate the biker's next moves. Therefore, a biker's hand signals become extremely important to alert drivers to a biker who slows, wants to turn, or before stopping on the bike. Bikers by law must have reflectors on the bike, and a headlight.
