Default Walker on Right

[QUOTE=dewilson58;2090500]Walker should be on the left side, biker should be on the right side of the path.



Like an electric cart...........I can the bike coming.

We have walked/hiked all over the USA and if you are walking on a real road (that is, with automobiles) or MMP (with golf carts) you are supposed to walk on left (into traffic).

But when walking on sidewalks and paths that only allow walkers & bikers, both are supposed to stay to the right, in which case bikes (and runners) pass on the left (while providing a robust warning, well in advance, like the universal "On Your Left").

BTW, this is also the process followed by 90% of the walkers here in The Villages. Now if only more bikers could provide the requisite warning call.
