The same problem shows up with people who insist on walking in a diamond lane when there is a sidewalk built for walking right beside them (and the curbs are not step downs or ups....they are sloped up/down). But many walkers will not move over, nor onto the sidewalk, when golf carts behind them cannot pass them because of the solid white line, and cars/trucks beside them on their left. Obviously the diamond lanes in the street are made for faster speeds than walking--for which the sidewalks are made--but walkers insist on walking in the street diamond lanes anyway, and golf carts cannot pass them.
It's not unreasonable to want to drive at the speed limit in a diamond lane in the street!!!!

OK, not the diamond lane but.....
Just in the last few weeks I have had two encounters with walkers that just leave me shaking my head. This was on multi modal paths. The first was four people walking next to each other WITH (going the same direction as) traffic. Each cart had to stop, then the walkers would move over and go back to walking 4 abreast after the cart passed. A week later two people were walking WITH traffic side-by-each (as they say in Fall Reever). They just walk along without a clue that they are impeding traffic.
SHARE the path means SHARE the path? Ok... I am done whining for now.... |
