Default Walkers on Cart Roads

This is a great thread that discusses legal and safe ways to walk on the cart roads. I would like to add a note about the few walkers who walk as a couple, side by side, and do not yield to oncoming vehicles. There are certainly many who walk single file when a vehicle approaches but there is an occasional couple who must feel they can walk side by side and the cart must negotiate passing them. Common sense would indicate that the walkers ought to briefly move to single file and the cart should slow down to safely pass the oncoming walkers. Normally there is plenty of room for all walkers, bikers, and carts but be very careful when the path splits and there is an island of trees and shrubs dividing and narrowing the path. If everyone shares the road with safety and courtesy in mind, all will be better off.
