I thought that the rule is the man walks closest to the road in case there's danger.
Not sure how much it applies here, but I remember hearing way long ago that; if a man is walking down the road with his wife (or kids) he should take the side nearest the gutter / road, and the kids should be on the side closest the buildings / grass / away from the road.
This is both so that if a car / bike comes and hits someone, it will be the man and not the woman or child.
Ideally, the man will be more aware of his surroundings, will see the car / bike coming, and will be able to push his loved ones out of the way before any harm can befall them.
At least that's what I heard a long ass time ago & it's what I do with my wife & kids.
