Default Official Maps Identify "Multi-Modal" Paths

Those are what we refer to as "golf cart paths". "Multi-modal" means that golf carts, pedestrians, bicyclists, in-line skaters, joggers, even Segways have an EQUAL right to use the multi-modal paths in The Villages. That includes the bridge over US 27/441.

Beyond the equal right to the use of the paths comes the common sense and courtesy of when to give way. While pedestrians walking two abreast have as much right use th paths as a golf cart, it just makes common sense that pedestrians give way to faster and bigger vehicles. They don't have to -- but if they didn't, the whole personality of TV would change.
