Some runners use the lanes because they are generally softer than the concrete sidewalks to run on, especially if they are running a long distance and have sensitive feet.

Well, those runners are violating the law. Florida statue 316.130 DOES NOT grant an exception for runners who believe asphalt is softer. Grass and sand are even softer yet, go run there but not in a lane designated for vehicular traffic
