I have daily walked 2-3 miles for most of my adult life.....and still do @3-4 miles per hour....with the dog.

Almost exclusively multi modal paths(MMP) from Arnold Palmer CC heading South and then back.

All users, better than 90% show respect for each other space, right of way.
Better than 98% of the time is without incident.

Better than 70% of all who use the MMP say god morning/wave/nod/smile.

What usually happens is that too many threads dwell on the odd ball 2% that create problems.....no matter where they are or what they are riding/driving.

As many suggestions above advocate there are some areas that might be more conducive to walking......my experience is it is safe to walk just about any where using common sense and courtesy. And remember there will always be the 2% oddballs where ever on goes.
