I couldn’t care less about stepping into the grass, that was completely irrelevant (you might note that I avoided highlighting that section). The post I responded to (the response you took exception to) assumed that the OP needs to be told to walk facing oncoming traffic. Great advice but the original post clearly stated the OP *was* walking facing oncoming traffic. The poster would have known that if he had read the original post.

Does that make it easier for you to understand?

Well, it was good advice “just step off in grass” but in the op case they was on bridge or close to entry where that wasn’t option. The cart should NOT be passing on bridge or on approach to bridge where it’s narrowed or dangerous due to limited visibility.

IMO that was point of OP post and the added “just step off path” was unrelated good advice cause majority of walkers walk HOGGING path or diamond lanes putting themselves in potential danger from sun glare, a pillar blind spot and dozen other issues. The rule states walk facing traffic on edge of street/road. MMP is a road diamond lanes are roads. But I this case the op was doing everything right and golf cart driver was WRONG.
