If other than wheeled mode go against the traffic.
From my 8 years of walking the multi mode paths here in TV the single biggest problem is golf cart drivers going too fast for conditions and secondly the ones who are just not paying attention and third those who cannot see (very far).
98% of surprises and near incidents would be eliminated if drivers exercise common courtesy....called using the brakes and slowing down....and oh by the way most of them do. We only talk about the small number who are the violators.

Add to that:
-
...Walkers exercising common courtesty by wearing
white/bright-colored shirts/jackets instead of dark grey or black as many walkers do;
-
...Walkers watching for what is coming for traffic instead of chatting with a partner or on the phone and daydreaming, oblivious to traffic;
-
...Walkers watching for golf carts that cannot go around them because of car/truck traffic at their side, as NotGolfer described above.
