Since the title of the thread contains "in the diamond lanes", I'm going to reply to your post assuming the walkers/runners you mention here are in the diamond lane.

How many times does it have to be stated here, that golf carts coming along at 19.5 mph in the diamond lane cannot just swerve out to the left and into the car lane to go around an oncoming walker, because there are cars and trucks BESIDE the golf car going 30 mph, and more are coming up behind those??

And the cart cannot just stop in the golf lane and wait for the walker to pass, because the cart will most likely get rear-ended and could cause a chain pile-up of golf carts!!

Walkers/Runners do not belong in the diamond lanes!! Period! Why do people think they can walk/run in 20 mph VEHICLE traffic??
