There is actually enough room for both cart and runner on those lanes without the cart actually going into the car traffic. The few times I've run on Morse Blvd I've gone into the grassy area when an upcoming cart approaches but there might be a spot or two where that might be a problem. Also when a runner is putting in a lot of mileage sometimes they find themselves on the roadways because there's isn't enough golf cart paths to run on. We do our best to stay on the paths but sometimes a mile or two is needed to get ourselves onto the next path and out of major traffic. We would rather run with as little traffic as possible as that is the ideal but for various reasons that's not always doable. There isn't that many runners out there for this to be an issue.

Hi Dawn Marie: Have you ever heard of a vehicle being rear ended because someone other vehicle stopped abruptly.
Have you ever studied risks? Because if you have the only method of preventing an accident is to remove or reduce those elements that may create an accident.
Someone could store gas in their garage for years but suddenly one day the gas ignites. Some one charges their electric cart every day for years but suddenly a fire erupts.
Runners desire to use the diamond lanes causes drivers to react and no one cares until a jogger is run down or a golf cart pulls into the path of a vehicle behind him.
I studies risk all my career and people just don't fully appreciate how in an instant their lives are altered forever.
Personal Best Regards:
