South of 466 was built with sidewalks. Diamond lanes were built for golf carts and bikes, not joggers, cars or motorcycles.
Diamond lanes have a solid white lane for a reason. Granted there may be in a golf cart drivers mind a reason to cross that white line. If an accident results the police will investigate and determine fault.
Joggers in the diamond lane create an unnecessary risk and yet because of their status as pedestrians may walk (run) away from their responsibility.
A golf cart driver can either stop and perhaps because it will be an abrupt stop get rear ended or cross the white line into traffic and risk being hit by a car. consider the number of cars that accelerate to get past a golf cart where the diamond lane ends and merge is required.
I am dead set against joggers in diamond lanes but the reality here is that something tragic accident has to occur until the authorities will act..and in that they are remiss
