Walkers and joggers Go to the parks and stay off the roads or walk on the turnpike or 301 the same thing You're in a road.

Number 4 states:
“Where sidewalks are not provided any pedestrian walking along and upon a highway shall, when practicable, walk only on the shoulder on the LEFT side of the roadway in relation to the pedestrian direction of travel facing traffic which may approach from the opposite direction”.

I'm always amazed at how many of our Villagers do not know that they are NOT "golf cart roads" or even "golf cart paths". They are "Multi Modal" and that means that you can use them if you are "walking", "running", "roller blading", "riding a bike", and yes, even driving a "golf cart". So be prepared to encounter any of these forms of activity on the paths through out our community. They all have the same right to be there as you do.
