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.

well said. If we could depend on 100% of people doing the right thing, we could go la la la la la down the paths without worry and we have the right to do that, but people please beware because that darn 2 % can have you canceling your next few tee times in a second.
