The only time I can think of that a pedestrian wouldn't be able to move out of the way, is on the golf cart bridge over 441. There's barely enough room for two golf carts to pass each other, there is no room at all for two carts, plus anything else. In that case, the person going in the same direction the pedestrian is walking, needs to - not get that close to the pedestrian. So the cart on the other side can safely continue over the bridge. And then that first golf cart can then move over and pass the pedestrian. If it's a bicycle, you normally would just wait til the bike gets to the top of the bridge, and roll up behind them, and follow them to the other side til they're able to give you room to pass them.

No idea what the actual rules are for that situation but that's been what people have been doing since I moved in, and it seems to work fine.
