Clearly, there aren't any. In fact, the rules are that there are no rules. Any logic that you may have been taught by parents, teachers, or general example should be thrown out the door.
Example 1: If you are accustomed to walking on the right hand side, the locals are prone to run into you by walking on the left hand side in the opposing direction. This results in glares, an awkward manoeuvre to get around each other and under-the-breath slurs by both parties.
Example 2: If you are walking very close to a wall, fence, building, etc., by way of leaving 2 feet, 2 yards or 2 acres of space on the opposing side, there will be a majority of locals who try to overtake you from the inside where there may be one to two inches of space MAXIMUM. This results in glares, an awkward manoeuvre to get around each other and under-the-breath slurs by both parties.
Example 3: Reverse directions as discussed in Example 1. This results in glares, an awkward manoeuvre to get around the other and under-the-breath slurs by both parties. Also,great confusion will occur on part of foreigner because they thought they were doing so well by walking on the opposing side so as to not upset the locals.
