We see a gentleman jogging in the street which actually may be safer for him because his feet shuffle a bit and the walking path which is not concrete is uneven from encroaching tree roots. The street is not heavily traveled and even less so at the time he’s out. Hopefully he thinks to always face the traffic.
Walker/runners might use the street but if there is a sidewalk present then they are violating the law. I've checked... there is no reference to the skeletal condition, age, or walking abilities of the pedestrian mentioned in 316.130.
