Unfortunately, the 3 foot law does not apply to the multimodal paths. Common sense would dictate that it is good practice to follow that precaution, but the multimodal paths are not considered to be part of the vehicle road system. So, cyclists riding on these paths are left to rely on the common courtesy and good sense of the cart drivers, as well as their own sense of self preservation..
