Obviously, on streets with no sidewalks, pedestrians have no choice but to walk wherever they can, but they need to realize, even if they have the right of way, faster moving vehicles cannot always avoid slower moving objects.
There are no sidewalks north of 466. I agree it makes no sense to walk in the street if there is a sidewalk. However, without sidewalks there is no other avenue, pun intended.

I am waiting for someone to chime in and correct me by stating there are sidewalks in Spanish Springs.
