It isn't my intention to get into a pi**ing contest over this, but I still feel that unless we actually witness, presuming might not be such a good thing.

The paths are multi-modal, for use by carts, bikes, people walking. We must all be aware of our relative position on the path and try to bring no harm to ourselves or others.
