I think the MMP's are currently dangerous and stripes will not change that for walkers. I would look for a sidewalk. If you don't feel safe walking with a child on an MMP, why would you feel safe walking without one? Can you jump out of the way as quickly as a child? Land on your feet? Or if you do hit the ground not break anything?
On a bike most seniors can maneuver almost as quickly as they always have. The MMP's feel safe to me on a bike.

I think the dialogue should be about why would a walker or biker need to jump out of the way?
We need to at some point recognize the issues being addressed or not is the small perecetage of golf cart drivers behavior is the root cause.....and until and or if that is changed the safety efforts will have little or no impact as it is the major unsafe contributor.
