I don't know what the norm is. It is not a golf cart lane. It is a multi modal lane. In my book pedestrians have the right of way. I do not expect them to jump up on the curb when I approach in my golf cart. I move into the car lane, if safe, or slow down or even stop. Many pedestrians here have difficulty walking and are unable to leap aside at the approach of every golf cart.
BTW, the law says we must give bicycles three feet. I think we can grant pedestrians the same.
