This kind of "normally" works in most cases. Yet, the lady walking along "with traffic" on a multimodal path near Citrus Grove yesterday, WHILE yacking on her phone, had no clue that the cart which passed within 4 inches of her elbow was in too much of a hurry to get around her than to wait for the oncoming cart. Even after almost getting run down she was completely unaware and kept chattering along.
Walk facing traffic, and be aware of what's happening around you. Listen carefully, and maybe turn down your earbuds enough to hear approaching traffic.
