@JustMe, I'm with HogWash; there's a difference between "on your left" and "watch out on your left", and the former is what I usually hear.

I know what it means now, and it took no time to learn, but the first time I encountered it as a pedestrian, my instinct was to ask, "what's on my left?" and turn to see. Fortunately, I just turned my head, so I didn't get hit, but the meaning is not intuitive to someone who hasn't heard it before -- and this region has lots of people who seldom walk or bicycle.
