If you are driving a cart or riding a bike and you hit a pedestrian, I think you will be in a WORLD of trouble.
If you walk on a MMP, I think you should be very careful, as most people seem to be. As we drive down Buena Vista or Morse, we often see people walking on the MMPs, and they appear to be walking on the extreme edge of the asphalt so they can avoid carts or bikes. That seems pretty smart to me, almost as smart as never walking on the MMP in the first place.

Using such logic one should never venture out while walking...what if your in your neighborhood and a car/bike/cart hits you there? What if you're on a sidewalk(where bikes are allowed unfortunately)and a car/cart jumps the curb?
I walk facing traffic(as is recommended)...I walk at the edge of the MMP and streets in neighborhoods and I always assume those in carts/on bikes don't see me. Will that always protect me? No, but it's either that or never leave the house for fear that someone won't be paying attention.
