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.

wait a minute. This whole thread started about trails with pedestrians and bikes. When did you make it about trails with just walkers?
We are having a conversation about walkers and bicycles, on the same path. That's the universe we are discussing.
So, I'll repeat my question to you. Given that there will be walkers, cyclists, and e-bikes on the same pathway, would you consider it safer for the walkers to be facing the traffic of bikes and e-bikes, or would it be safer having them coming up behind them, unseen and unheard?
Pretty simple question if you stick to the topic we are discussing.
