Ours were taught shoreline or whatever you want to call it . It basically is 
training to follow a line like a curb if there is no sidewalk or a grass 
line if there is no curb. It is also useful in parking lots to use the backs 
of parked cars as a line of sight. This anyway my way of thinking on this. I 
can see the advantages of training to follow on the right because most 
places you go the foot traffic flow is on the right. Back in 1974 when I 
went to blind school we were trained always to walk on the right side of the 
hallway to avoid collisions. As far as left over right we weren't taught 
this and next time I talk to them I will ask the reasoning for this.
