I have to disagree with you on this one. In almost every case, if not all, the problems related to the use of the MMP are due to human activity creating a problem. Whether it is speeding, failure to share the road, improper use of the path, or some other thing, it is a result of people not exercising due care and/or courtesy in their travels. Not a design flaw. I watch people in carts cutting the corners on curves without being able to see what's on the other side. People squeezing by bicyclists in their carts. Walkers oblivious to others on the path.
People say you can't fix stupid. By the same token, you can't design anything to totally eliminate problems created by people who do not exercise even a modicum of care or concern for their fellow travelers.
