I have been walking the MMP's and tunnels for11 years.
In the last year I have been wearing a red flasher on my waist.
Always walk facing traffic.
With 11 years experience I conclude:
Drivers hold the go pedal to the floor no matter the conditions.
Drivers do not know there is a brake on the cart.
Anytime I have had a cart come at me the driver did not see me till the last second.
Most people are very good about sharing and being careful!
I walk 2 miles 6 mornings per week and
Wearing the flasher has made a noticeable difference.
