Dogfights are also prohibited under Florida statutes. :)

Dogfights are also prohibited under Florida statutes. :)

Playing chicken or asserting the right of way? When you see a pedestrian, you should pass in other lane if safe to do so. If you can’t pass safely, you should stop your cart until you can pass or the until the pedestrian has cleared from in front of you.

What about those who have their backs to traffic??? Total idiots.

Majority golf cart drivers do that.

Majority Pedestrians need follow status, and not walk in middle and NEVER walk two abreast when traffic coming. That’s not sharing path that hogging it.

When I walk I always step off the MMP onto the grass for approaching traffic, which is always appreciated.

Situational Awareness
 

If we all used a little bit of Situational Awareness when using multi-modal paths, we’d all be better off and TV would be a more pleasant, friendly town.

Golf carts, yes you may go 20mph, but if you’re coming around a blind corner or entering a tunnel on a MMP, slow down.

Walkers, you know you’re sharing the path with golf carts, walk against the traffic so you can SEE and HEAR what’s headed towards you. If you walk with traffic you cannot SEE nor can you HEAR if you’re wearing ear buds. Plus if you’re walking WITH traffic yes, you’re putting yourself at grave risk and holding up vehicles behind you.

Cyclists, know your capabilities and limitations. You’re too fast for the walkers and too slow for the golf carts. Unfortunately, cyclists need to be especially vigilant.

Finally, as my dad taught me, you may have the right of way, but never insist on it or you may be DEAD RIGHT. Just be nice. It’s actually will make for a much better day if you are.

MMP is a road, a path to one point to another used as transportation is road (look it up) therefore roads rules apply private road or not.

Requires walking in the road at some point.

I bet it was you who corrected me about a month ago. Thanks.

Agree with a previous post that paved areas are easier on the skeletal system than concrete so walkers/runners may use the street.

We see a gentleman jogging in the street which actually may be safer for him because his feet shuffle a bit and the walking path which is not concrete is uneven from encroaching tree roots. The street is not heavily traveled and even less so at the time he’s out. Hopefully he thinks to always face the traffic.

Walker/runners might use the street but if there is a sidewalk present then they are violating the law. I've checked... there is no reference to the skeletal condition, age, or walking abilities of the pedestrian mentioned in 316.130.

Newtons Law Of Moving Bodies
 

When two bodies are moving into the same space, the larger body will displace the smaller body in all cases.

Walkers give way to bikers, walkers and bikers give way to golf cars, walkers, bikers,golf cars give way to automobiles, walkers,bikers,golf cars, autos give way to trucks.

It's the simple science of self preservation, don't be a right fighter, stay safe and healthy. :BigApplause:

That caused a chuckle, lol.

Nobody reads here. It is a post only board.
