So, you're saying four pedestrian pals all walking abreast in the middle of an MMP, can continue to walk at 2-3 MPH, and golf carts that CANNOT pass them on either side since they're occupying both sides - have to just tough it out?
Or - is the responsibility the pedestrians to move over to the side of the road?
