The accident is (was) most unfortunate and I hope no one was injured!!! That said...I've observed *some* cart-drivers who think they have the right of way on these crossings. Not so!! Always observe when driving a cart to make sure there aren't any vehicles coming through. I generally will wait until their gate goes up and they pass by before I proceed!! These cart paths have pavers as they are in the squares....have we not observed folks who just continue walking on these w/o looking both ways first?! Yes, to the fact that pedestrians have the "right of way" BUT I was taught always look both left and right then left again before proceeding...this in walking and in driving!
