I walk on the left side of the road on multimodal paths and regular streets with no sidewalk. I assumed that on the pedestrian/bike path you would do the same. I noticed that I was in the minority on these paths. I did an internet search. (We all know everything on the net is true.
) On several sites it says that on paths with no motorized vehicles " Walk on the right side of the trail, slowest traffic keep right; pass on left. At busy areas on the trail, avoid walking three abreast. Two people walking side by side fills up a lot of trail. When faster traffic comes up from behind switch from walking abreast to in-line to give them room to go by you safely."
So I guess the rules for nonmotorized paths are different than motorized paths and roads.
