Walkers - PLEASE MOVE OVER
Since my rotator cuff surgery two weeks ago, I’ve been walking about 4 miles a day on my days off from work.
I am amazed at the number of people that won’t move over to the edge of the MMP’s when a cart is coming toward them; do they think they’re invincible? I get completely off the path when a cart is approaching. With the age and the failing eyesight of a lot of people driving those carts, trust me, you’re not going to win a collision with a golf cart. MOVE OVER.

I don’t agree that walkers need to move over. MMP stands for multi modal path, which would include walkers. If I’m driving my cart and encounter a walker, I signal my lane change, get into the car lane, then move back to the MMP after I pass them. I agree that a collision with one would be deadly, and if I’m walking, I pay attention to make sure that the cart driver sees me. So far, I haven’t needed to jump into the bushes to avoid being hit.
Is that incorrect?

Well, as long as we are at it:
And Carts coming around the completely blind curve at the Stillwater crossing on the MMP to/from LSL in either direction at 20MPH++++++ please slow down. Almost been knocked over multiple times and once had my arm clipped by a mirror. Have to walk in the wet grass to not get killed. It's not a GOLF CART PATH it a MULTI MODAL PATH. EDIT: I just saw the 2 previous posts! YES! |

I walk just about every day and I always stay as close to the edge of the MMP as possible. I often move onto the grass when I know a cart is coming from both directions. I am often amazed at how fast some carts travel on the paths. We all need to be courteous to each other. Walkers move over & carts slow down!

When we go for a walk, we drive our golf cart to one of several places where we enjoy walking where there is no car or golf cart traffic. Problem solved.

What about 2 or walking abreast and even over the center line. OK, I understand there are special people and the world revolves around them! The MMP path not wide enough to be walking 3 or 4 abreast talking and not paying attention.
IMO same rules should apply walking on roadway with no sidewalk, single file when traffic approaches and on the edge ready to step off, the grass won’t hurt you expensive none walking shoes. |

I walk with Dad everyday. We stay in the neighborhood which is pretty safe, except 1 road. Then I go play and walk an executive course.
