In skiing there is a rule: The Downhill Skier Has The Right Of Way....meaning that is someone is in front of you, they have the right of way and you are responsible to avoid them. If there is a walker, biker, golf cart, or whatever, in front of you, no matter which way they are traveling, you can see them and avoid them. They may, annoyingly, not be courteous enough to get out of your way, but you should still try not to mow them down. However, there is no reason to be walking in the diamond golf cart lane when there is a sidewalk. That's just stupid, and you can't fight stupid. (You still shouldn't mow them down though, no matter how tempting.)
