Why Do We Drive in the Left Side of the Road but Walk on the Right?

Have you ever noticed that we drive on the left side of the road, but when you go up the elevated walkway, they ask people to stay to the right? Notice the disrepency? What do you think the reason why it is so? Take a few minutes, think about it. Once you are done, feel free to scroll down and compare your answers with mines.










































Here are the list of possible theories:
1) When people go up the stairs, it is likely that most people especially older people who need to grabble the stairs. Since most people are right handed, it is likely why we walk up the elevated walkway on the right side.
2) It is noted that it is safer if a person on the footpath on the opposite direction that the car is traveling. This is safer as it allows you to avoid cars in cases of accidents when it veers out of direction into the footpath. That extends to the elevated walkway theory.
