So glad you are safe! From reading these threads, people have different opinions. If I were to guess, the drivers of the golf carts believed you were supposed to be on the far right, completely away from them. They then, would say it was your fault.
Neither of you is correct.
Neither wrong. I am beginning to understand that people visualize how they are supposed to maneuver on the paths based on what they have seen and are accustomed to in their hometowns. If it is not what you were taught in your hometown, it is a disaster waiting to happen!
Attached is a picture of my hometown. Pedestrians to the far right. Faster vehicles are given a wider portion of the path. Pedestrians never enter the path of faster vehicles and NEVER cross over to switch lanes.
I am not stating this is the correct way. All I am stating is this is all I have ever known. Willing to change to walking on the left, if need be.
I vote for signage!
Go ahead and blast me for posting the same picture more than once! Just trying to show people have seen different things. It doesn't make them wrong! And, certainly not a reason to be ridiculed, scolded, or almost killed when they thought they were being safe.
