I'm a woman and I walk the MMP and I walk facing traffic.
As a pedestrian out walking on an MMP, I should not have to yield to an oncoming cart that refuses to give me a little room to safely walk on the path. I also drive a golf cart and guess what?
I swing wide to give a wide berth to those walkers. That is what some people call being courteous. It's not dangerous if there is no on-coming traffic. If there is traffic, I slow down to let the other carts go by so that the walkers are safe. A MMP path means just that, walkers have every right to be walking on the PATH.
Tell the judge after you hit someone that you did not want to yield to the pedestrian and see where that gets you. You are giving the term "self-entitlement" a whole new meaning.

I also never go over the center line when driving an automobile. That is dangerous. I will never understand why drivers move to the left of the center line when a golf cart is coming up on their right in the MMP. There is room for both of you unless you are driving a huge truck with a wide load.
