Default Recreational Trails vs Cart Lanes on Street...

Taj44;
I believe you have mixed the use of the "Rec Trails" useage with the original post over safety concerns on the on street "Cart Paths" that are a part of the street. I don't know their legal name or designation. I agree with you on the trails. They are wider and not near the traffic and walkers, runners and bikers are not as great of a safety concern. Both golf carts as well as the pedistrians that use them have room to move over and thus allow a safe distance between them as they pass each other. However, the designated cart lanes, the ones that butt up to the vehicle roadway are really an accident waiting to happen to a walking or running pedistrian at some point in the future.
