Works both ways. One of my pet peeves with GOLF CART drivers is while walking on the MULTI-MODAL PATH crossing Stillwater in either direction (but worse going north) there is a blind curve and the carts take the turn sometimes so fast it looks like they are on 2 wheels. If you walk on the CORRECT side you can get sideswiped by the cart or side view mirror (happened to me) coming around the blind curve or if you walk on the wrong side they scream at you for not walking on the PROPER side. In any case they need to use a BRAKE coming around the curve and not accelerate and slow down as it only takes 1/4 of a brain to see it is a blind curve and JUST MAYBE someone may be "sharing the path" (especially in the mornings).
