My thoughts are I am walking to see what's in front of me and take evasive action so I don't get hurt or cause and accident? I don't know the rules or if there are rules covering this? I feel it's my responsibility to get out or off street to prevent and accident or possible injury to myself.
Basically I don't want to be dead right holding my ground? I see this a lot, people not yeilding to possible dangerous situation when carts and cars are coming especially on blind corners where cart has to stop abruptly or worse case swerve out into traffic.

You have the right to walk in the cart path lanes. Definitely walking against the traffic is best choice. If a cart or car hits you, you will probably win the lawsuit, but you need to exercise caution. My only complaint with walkers in cart lanes is with those who do it at night without a flasher or at least reflective clothing. I think they give flashers for free at various events.
