I've never heard the term "on your left" and I don't know what the Norwegian equivalent might be. If I'm about to pass a pedestrian who doesn't seem to have noticed me I usually just go "Hepp!"

It's also scared the bejasus out of a meandering cyclist or two, the type who hasn't quite got around to thinking that there might be other, and faster cyclists in town...
