I agree that a collision with one would be deadly, and if I’m walking, I pay attention to make sure that the cart driver sees me. So far, I haven’t needed to jump into the bushes to avoid being hit.

Is that incorrect?
I completely agree. When I see a walker, I immediately slow down to 5 mph and pass when safe. I also wave and smile. 🤗

Thinking further on this, WHY will people not face traffic?
