First: One poster used the term a few times Right-Away. I can only assume they meant Right-of-way? It was a good post but I was curious as to the expression used. Maybe I've been wrong all these years?

Second: Most of the streets south of 466 that have diamond lanes also have sidewalks. So when I run/walk I use the sidewalks even though I may jump into an empty diamond lane (facing traffic of course) if it is empty since the asphalt is more forgiving than concrete.

Third: On streets with no diamond lane (all my small neighborhood streets) there is very seldom enough traffic to worry about. There is plenty of room for the car/cart to move toward the center a little and give me the edge of the road. Haven't had a problem yet in 2 years.
