Sorry - I dont get it! From what I have seen myself there are walkers all the time in the golf cart lanes on the main streets in the villages. Why is this? There are sidewalks right next to them that cost (us) a lot of money. If I was a walker I would be ON THE SIDEWALK. Why put yourself in a situation where you may be run into/over by a bike or a golf cart. The most dangerous thing in the villages is a golfer on his way to an early round in the dark. They are not thinking of much but the game or are still asleep. (Three close calls with them on a residential street while walking my dog while waving a very bright LED flashlight at them.)

There is another thought here - you now have electric bikes that are doing 20 or more mph in the golf cart lane. Will a walker survive an impact like that - maybe or maybe not. You can not or will not hear these coming like you might hear a golf cart. When a sidewalk is available USE IT!
