As a pedestrian, I avoid cart lanes altogether. I walk defensively, facing traffic and getting UP on the curb to avoid any possibility of being hit by an approaching vehicle. As a cart driver, I try to avoid putting myself in the dangerous car lane. If I have to stop to let the pedestrian walk around me, (with no other carts behind me!) I will do so... Unfortunately, I have seen more and more walkers on Morse Boulevard, which is definitely not a safe place to walk. There are many pedestrians using the cart lanes as walking lanes on Enrique also. This is a growing problem, which I’m afraid cannot be stopped until at least one person is killed or seriously injured. The obvious, though not practical from a financial standpoint, is to give this area sidewalks. Good responses so far from you readers!
