If you did want to walk through a golf cart tunnel, would you choose to walk with, or facing, traffic?
Personally, I would walk with traffic, and pick up the pace, to give drivers more time to see me, but I'd be interested in hearing your view.

We learned the hard way that there is no easy way to avoid the tunnels when walking. We decided to walk to the Brownwood farmers market a few months ago. VERY BAD IDEA!!
There is no provision for walkers to avoid tunnels. The only option is to cross Buena Vista, or Morse, or 466a etc. It's a very scary, unsafe situation. There are no "crosswalks" near the tunnels to avoid them.
Never again!!!
