It'd be safer for pedestrians to ride bicycles instead of walking. It'd be safer for bicycle riders to be in golf carts instead of on bikes. It'd be safer if bikes weren't allowed on pedestrian trails. It'd be safer if golf carts weren't allowed on mmps.

It'd be safer for all pedestrians to not walk where anyone coming toward them would have the sun in their eyes, such as at dusk. It'd be safer for pedestrians to wear a day-glo reflective safety vest and blinker arm-bands, and helmets, and knee pads.

A lot of things would be safer, if people did things other than what they currently do.

But on WALKING TRAILS, pedestrians ARE the traffic, and can't walk against themselves.
