why would joggers use them if sidewalks are there?

I have always believed there is a difference in the multi-modal trail and the lanes that are adjacent to the road. I thought the multi-modal are designed for all users and the lanes adjacent to the road for golfcarts. I'm a jogger and I jog on the sidewalk,the multi-modal trail and neighborhood streets but not the lane adjacent to the road.

Blinkers on a golf cart have to be turned on. And then after the turn is completed, the blinkers have to be turned off. They don't go off automatically like a car!

Because we have a senior population, many wrinklies don't remember turning the blinker on. And because their hearing has gone, (along with memory), many don't seem to hear the blinking sound.

Therefore a lot of golf carts do have blinkers going a lot of the time, but it means absolutely nothing. (And I include myself in the Wrinklie category, so don't throw rotten tomatoes at me). :throwtomatoes:

You think they are unique to TV ?

They are ALL OVER THE PLACE !

This morning, a guy ran a stop sign, almost creamed me, then flipped me "the bird."

Regarding joggers using the cart path in the street versus the available sidewalk:

Some joggers feel that the asphalt surface is somewhat "softer" and more forgiving to the legs and joints than concrete. Not debating the validity of the concept - just saying that's what causes some joggers to not be on the sidewalk.

Hey Batman!

I'm not talking about the multi-modal paths where CARS are not allowed...I'm speaking of the public streets that happen to also have designated GOLF CART LANES....and sidewalks for joggers/walkers, etc. And I do go out of my way to share w/my fellow Villagers. :ho:

Thanks to all for your comments regarding usage of the multi-modal vs. cart paths. It's obvious to me now, that I apparently forgot to take my anti-bitchy pills the day I posted that! (if I could find a blushing icon, I'd insert it now!) Sorry everybody for venting on here.

My goal is to be more like Gracie Girl, who always has a kind word for everybody and never a crabby one! She's the best!

There are no sidewalks north of cr 466.

As far as I am concerned, no apology is necessary. We all have our hot buttons and sometimes feel less than perfect. Somebody didn't stop at the stop sign and cut me off and then flipped me the bird like I was in his way. Excuseeeeeeeeeeee me for breathing. :)

Remember the old saying, "it's better to be P'd off than P"d on".

Gracie says: there is no P in Lake Sumter.

I sincerely hope you feel better.

LOL! Thanks for the understanding!

Took me a couple beats then I got it....yes, I've seen it misspelled Sumpter! LOL!

Your welcome Deb.

Sumter spelled Sumpter was a pet peeve of Russ-Boston.

Hey Russ. How are you doing? I see that you had a post today!!! :)

Two of the things I like about TV, I do not need to waste energy using turn signals and I get to make "left" turns from the right lane.:boom:
