Golf carts, yes you may go 20mph, but if you’re coming around a blind corner or entering a tunnel on a MMP, slow down.
Walkers, you know you’re sharing the path with golf carts, walk against the traffic so you can SEE and HEAR what’s headed towards you. If you walk with traffic you cannot SEE nor can you HEAR if you’re wearing ear buds. Plus if you’re walking WITH traffic yes, you’re putting yourself at grave risk and holding up vehicles behind you.
Cyclists, know your capabilities and limitations. You’re too fast for the walkers and too slow for the golf carts. Unfortunately, cyclists need to be especially vigilant.
Finally, as my dad taught me, you may have the right of way, but never insist on it or you may be DEAD RIGHT. Just be nice. It’s actually will make for a much better day if you are.
