Apparently, it is, and serious joggers know it. However, that DOES NOT give them carte blanche to violate Florida statute 316.130 sec 3 just because asphalt is softer. What other laws would they like to violate because it is convenient??? Bikers already ignore most stop signs, maybe I'll do that in my car too, since just like they claim it is "inconvenient" to stop because of toe clips, it is inconvenient for me to stop because I have to move my foot 8 inches to the left (and press down). Maybe it's more convenient to drive at 100 mph on the Turnpike when meeting someone at the airport. It seems, for many, it is more convenient to walk their dog on their neighbors property, or the postal station, or the side of the boulevards----anywhere but their own property (oops, I've done it now), And 1000 other examples.....OR.......

Perhaps everyone could obey THE LAW, as written, rather than dreaming up their own little excuses for NOT following it. Just a thought......
