Wouldn’t giving someone a colonoscopy without consent be considered harassment?

Also the path not intended walk side by side then take up the whole path either. Single file when traffic approaches would be polite.

There are many places where one cannot "just step off the path"...

Places where there is thick landscaping abutting the path...

And no one ever suggested walking two abreast (when traffic approaches) was a good idea...

It is especially frustrating and dangerous when traffic is on both sides of the path the walker remains on the pathway forcing the traffic to avoid the walker and onto the oncoming traffic.
If a walker refuses to yield to traffic, than walk on the side with the direction of the traffic.
Then the traffic is required to avoid the walker as the walker strolls merrily down the pathway.

A game of chicken is a childish thought. The thought should always be it is not your job to teach others a lesson. Your job is to see ALL do not get injured. Even the term accident is false. In a car, golf cart, well over 90% of accidents are avoidable. Thus, what we call an accident is a dumb action.

Should be. Walkers should use the sidewalk if there is one. If,there is no sidewalk walkers should walk against the flow of traffic so they can see golf carts and cars coming at them. IN A RUSH?
What do you save. The legal speed for a golf cart is 20 mph otherwise you need plates, insurance and a driver's license.

For too many, HURRY UP AND RELAX.

Share don’t mean hogging.

And there are many places you can step off path, but they don’t. And there are many who walk 2 three or 4 abreast and don’t get out of way. Safety first, argue later.

We/I seem to notice the FOOLS. It is the same people everywhere. I call them astronomers.
They were always like that sure the world revolves around them.

Exactly, that’s why when in doubt I step of street or path. Safety first.

If you are heading towards a walker and carts are approaching you are required to stop and wait for the oncoming traffic to pass. Golf Carts are low man on the totem pole and pedestrians have the right of way. You cannot cross to the other side of the path forcing others off the path. If the walkers choose to move to the grass then you are fine.

"Most walkers on golf cart pathways walk in the direction of the traffic. Logically, this is so they can see oncoming traffic with the intent to avoid getting run over." Really? If you are walking in the same direction as the traffic then the carts are coming up behind you. You need to walk against the direction of traffic. As far as moving into the grass, pedestrians do have the right-of-way but with every other golf cart driver being drunk, speeding, inattentive, senile, etc., it is prudent to move off the path.

I would rather see it coming than be hit from behind...although, I would take a blindfold in front of a firing squad...and a cigarette.

Correct. Golf carts always have to yield to all others...Except snakes.
