A poster mentioned walkers/runners (pedestrians) who exercise very earlier or very late.

I am an early riser and hence on the cart paths before sunrise. Some pedestrians wear reflective gear or have blinking lights while somewould make excellent commandos So I always travel at a lower speed.

I also agree with the poster who questioned why runners, etc are in the road or cart path lanes when sidwalks are available as it creates a hazard for drivers who have to pull around these folks when if the runner was on the sidewalk the move would be unnecessary. Canal Street does have a sidwalk

As the OP my reason was not to send out an alarm but only to remind folks to be cautious.

Finally both my wife and I always park at the back of a parking lot store to avoid have to dodge pedestrians in the parking lot
