That is correct. And then there are people who walk and run in the diamond lanes, when there is a sidewalk right beside it (Canal Street is a good example). So carts come up behind a walker or walkers going two abreast in the diamond lane, and they will NOT move over when the carts have to almost halt behind them because car traffic on their left does not permit them to veer left to go around the walker/runners.

They defy 1200 lb. vehicles going 20mph as if to say, "C'mon. Hit me. Then you'll see who's right." Insanity!
