Which way to walk on Multi-Modal Paths
 

Given your experience and expertise, I have a question regarding your walking direction. I was under the impression that walking AGAINST the flow of traffic (at least on a road) was not recommended. Having said that, we typically walk against the traffic flow where we live in NJ. There are no street lights and no curbs. The area is heavily wooded and we do indeed feel safer doing just what you do (walking against and biking with traffic).

My second question is what do golf car drivers on the paths think. Should people walking be going with or against the flow of traffic?

I walk against traffic and firmly believe that is the safest way.

From my experience, walking against traffic is generally accepted as the best way on normal streets. Some feel it changes on a multi-modal path, but I don't agree. The most basic and important principle imho...I do not want to be surprised from behind. I will deal with whatever is coming my way...in front of me...on the side I am walking.

I agree 100% no stripping

What about curbs? Anyone have an opinion on curbs on the MMP?

Why are these needed?
 

There have been ZERO accidents due to lack of side stripes in the villages, so why are we wasting this money now and in the future? Instead of a peaceful drive in our golf carts we will now feel like a busy road. How unfortunate and sad. Also where was the public discussion on this. Plenty about center stripes that was wisely killed but the money spenders couldn't let it lie.

I think the concept of walking on the left has been introduced in kindergarten and still holds to be true.

I suspect the majority may not?
So some don't agree with you, we should move. I DON'T think so! Planting dyeing flowers in middle road way is waste of money and dangous for the workers along with the shrubs that over grown and blocking traffic views.
when entering roundabout our eyes should be on the road.

Then again, they may.

AMEN!! and how refreshing to hear! Instead of govt officials telling me, (in their opinion) what I need; just show me the facts so I can decide for myself.

Then again, they may not when it hits their pocket books. Ever notice how the higher priced the area the Flowers are prettier and more abundant?

What does this mean?

However, it does give all of us the opportunity to try out single lane RBs. Just the other day, when the workers were replanting around the RBs, the traffic cones converted the RBs to single lane. I liked it. Smooth flow.

You have to pay to play. The flower changing has been going on for a long time. It is part of TV.

Back to the striping issue, according to the unnamed news source, the price may have gone up to an ESTIMATED $392,000, and it was stressed this is an estimate, and does not include continued maintenance.....

No.
