The so called "golf cart paths" are not really golf cart paths . They are multi modal paths. They are for golf carts, pedestrians (with and without dogs), incline skaters , bicycles and even small motor scooters. The real golf cart paths are on the golf courses.
Pedestrians should walk facing golf cart traffic for their own safety.
The problem is, a lot of golf cart drivers think they are for their use only and some in tend to "brush" pedestrians. As a walker, I avoid them. Plenty of places to walk without utilizing the paths.
By the way, speaking of bicyclists, for you auto drivers, Florida law says you must pass bikes leaving 3 feet of space between your car and the cyclist. Brushing a cyclist is not only dangerous but can be expensive.
