As retirees, I bet most of us have done our share of mindless maneuvering. Thanks for helping him out.

I've encountered two vehicles on the multi-modal path the first one drove me and two other carts off onto the grass because he was coming straight at me in the wee hours of the morning (just before sunrise).

I might suggest that one reason this may happen is that a driver may be so accustom to traveling the multi-modal paths by cart that when s/he is driving a car they simply forget which vehicle their driving. The guy who came directly at me with headlights on was apparently a visitor and staying at the Waterfront I know because when he exited at the Bridgeport gate he headed down Old Mill road and passed me again at a high rate of speed and into the Waterfront parking lot. I wouldn't want to pre-judge but he acted drunk, a second cause

Those white lines wouldn't do anything for that would it.

Might make the drivers of the cars complain that the lanes are too narrow

Re: They're back"........they are us or at least the majority of us minus a few years. Humans make errors, that's why erasers are on pencils.

The last time I went to Holland I "somehow unknowingly" found myself driving my little rental car on a bicycle path. The people were gracious and helpful though my face turned several different shades of red.
