It is obvious that there is an over riding view that "the paths" are for golf carts. Which, like it or not, they are multi modal paths....each mode having as much right to be there as the next.
I am a MMP walker and have been for the past 13 years....every day....2-3 miles.
Those who think walkers should get off the path or yield to oncoming carts are looking at it drom the "cart path" mentality.
Anytime I have encountered an issue it is very obvious the driver either could not see far enough to know someone was there or they were on their phone/texting.
99% of the time all users do what is right in the name of safety.......same as on the road.
It is unfortunate the discussions always are about the one percent that are at issue.
Another big help would be for some
cart drivers to know and understand there is no rule that states pedal to the floor at all times while operating!
MULTI MODAL PATHS.
