For pedestrians on cartspath before sunrise and after sunset know that bends in the path, over grown shubbery and headlights from carts/cars blinds golf cart drivers view of you irrespective of what you are wearing or if you have a blinking light...so I would consider being on a cartpath with the benefit of daylight when walking/running.

For pedestrians using diamond travel lanes whether you are walking/running with or against the flow of traffic you are causing me to cross over the solid white line and into the flow of automobile traffic when in fact just a few feet away is a sidewalk or if you prefer grass to run on. Golf carts are legally required to stay within that white solid line.

IMHO it should be illegal for a pedestrian to use a diamond lane. Somebody is going to get seriously hurt.
