I agree, Mudder. The law of common sense dictates walking, jogging, etc., facing the traffic. I passed a jogger the other evening, wearing dark clothing, and on the wrong side. I was very close when I saw his white legs. He was in the cart lane so no harm done. However, a cart would have a good chance of hitting him.

25 MPH can be way too fast on some of our streets. I live on a 25 MPH street (no cart lane) and would not be unhappy if it was changed to 15 MPH
