While driving a golf cart on the multi modal paths you should always be on the look out for walkers, joggers, bicyclists and other slow moving people, especially when entering and exiting a tunnel. Just slow down when necessary and you will be able to safely brake or maneuver around the slower moving people. (I see the OP did that!) Too many cart drivers drive with their foot to the floor and try to go as fast as they can, this can seriously affect the safety of all concerned. These paths are meant to be shared. Instead of being surprised to see a walker in a tunnel why not slow down each time and drive as though there may be a walker in every tunnel you drive through. Share the road.
