A runner on Canal was waving a cart in front of me and me off expecting us to pull left into the roadway so he could continue.
I do not think it is legal to leave the diamond lane until it merges with the road such as Canal at O'Dell, unless of course for a hazard, etc. However I do not wish to move left onto the roadway and risk being rearended by a car. Runners/pedestrians mistakenly believe that they are very visible but for myriad reasons they are not always visible which can create a sudden and abrupt need to pull left into the roadway to avoid colliding with them.
Frankly i don't care what is easier on their feet it is a dangerous practice to continue to allow pedestrian onto a roadway and it must be stopped before someone gets hurt
