Be afraid! VERY AFRAID! It's a jungle out there!
😖😱😧
Yes, opinions on this vary. I can't seem to find any "official" guidance. Maybe the Villages HOA group could tackle this and find or produce a guideline for the MMPs and walking/bike paths. If an HOA rep is reading this how about bringing it up at a meeting?
After witnessing some close calls I have, on a rare occasion, suggested to people that they should walk facing the golf carts. A couple of them argued that I am wrong and got a little huffy so I discontinued offering safety advice. It befuddles me that someone can think that walking with your back to golf carts is the safer option.
As a lad I was taught that when there are no sidewalks pedestrians should walk facing the traffic. As a senior I can't remember who taught me that.
