Our house backs up to Rio Grande Ave. I cannot tell you how many walkers and bikers go the wrong way. Walkers fail to walk toward traffic and bikers who do ride toward traffic rather than with traffic. Then there are the motorized wheel chairs and scooters which really aggravate the golf cart drivers while they are on their phones, oh yes talking on phones in golf carts is extremely common - so walkers beware! I have seen many walkers jump to safety!

Since there is no sidewalk along Rio Grande Ave, walkers have no choice but to walk in the marked path. As such, golf carts should yield (which means stop if you must) just like in a car. Yield to pedestrians in EVERY CASE!!!!! You might want to put the phone down and drive with two hands. Almost all golf carts are running "wide open on Rio drag strip"! Just seems 20 MPH for carts and 25 MPH for cars is meaningless since most cars are going 40 to 45 MPH. You really are taking your life in your hands walking on Rio Grande Ave.

Walkers should know how to: stop, look and listen before crossing as well as walking against traffic so they can see you and you can see them! Oh yes, and practice your jumping skills. Especially with the speeding on Rio Grande Ave. Look out!!!!
