I should add we spend 7 months in Rhode Island and overseas, and they are more walker friendly. “ The more you walk, the less you’ll weigh “

“ Florida law is clear that pedestrians should keep to the side of the road, walking on the shoulder whenever possible. The same exceptions apply here; if the shoulder or side of the road is blocked or unsafe, pedestrians may carefully walk in the street following all common-sense safety precautions. “
“When the street does not have a sidewalk, pedestrians should stay as far away from the edge of the roadway as possible. Walking toward oncoming traffic is the best way to remain visible.”

Key words side and shoulder” when blocked wait for traffic to pass, the common sense safety precautions.
So you’re right it’s walkers responsible to walk in safe manner. When I walk I take myself out of any possible danger. I don’t Hesitate get off the street or path to get far away from getting hit.
