It is pretty much the rule in most countries.

You obviously never been to England and took first step off of a curb to cross the street? If you did you wouldn't made your comment

This subject seems to come up often. When I walk I move over. Not a matter of who’s right and who’s wrong, it’s just being courteous. I smile, say hello and continue to be happy to be here. Some of you seem to want to make a point so much you let it upset your day. It’s not worth it. Who cares?

Walk on the left, ride on the right!

Please please please beware of blind turns in the road. I have net several walkers in the middle of the road on blind turns when I have no where to drive my golf card due to vegetation.

It's unbelievable how many people walk and jog on the golf cart roads especially under tunnels (Just an accident waiting to happen and when they see a golf cart coming, they don't even have the decency to move on the grass, as the golf cart paths are for two-way traffic Somebody will get seriously hit. Walkers and joggers Go to the parks and stay off the roads or walk on the turnpike or 301 the same thing You're in a road.

As a former LEO, occasionally a body would be found on the side of the road. The ME usually determined it was a pedestrian that was hit from behind. Usually a hit and run. Rarely have I ever heard of a pedestrian being hit head on. Nuff said.

I'm always amazed at how many of our Villagers do not know that they are NOT "golf cart roads" or even "golf cart paths". They are "Multi Modal" and that means that you can use them if you are "walking", "running", "roller blading", "riding a bike", and yes, even driving a "golf cart". So be prepared to encounter any of these forms of activity on the paths through out our community. They all have the same right to be there as you do.

I have some advice about walking on the MMPs: left is fine but I walk on the side that makes sense to me at the moment. There are a few blind turns, (I seem them often on Buena Vista). I just know that there is a deal lady, dutifully walking on the left side behind the blind turn. My job is to slow down and avoid hitting her with my cart. I DO this, but I am sure that not everyone does. Additionally, there are many areas in the divided sections where there are not any good places for a pedestrian to step off. Sometimes it's just better to be on the right, ya know.

Please do not expect pedestrians….
Please do not expect golf cart drivers…
Please do not expect cyclists…
Please do not expect dog walkers…
Please do not expect anybody...

To do anything according to anybody’s or any municipality’s rules/laws/ordinances.

DO EXPECT … unexpected and uninformed behaviors.

SO...Be careful, be prepared. Think ahead. Please be civil & courteous.

Thank you & Merry Christmas

And there are golf cart lanes on the sides of the roads designated by a solid white line and diamonds painted on the surface. I do not expect pedestrians in the roadway running and walking when a perfectly good sidewalk is next to the roadway. These pedestrians are breaking the law and have no right to be there.

[ex34449]

A first world problem if there ever was one. I walk on either and ride my bike on the roadway or sidewalk depending on the situation. No one on the sidewalk for as far as they eye can see, I'll be on it.
Really no big deal, surely not something to get wadded up about IMO.

The discussion is not about law or code enforcement, it is about common sense, courtesy and personal safety.

Too many times the golf cart tries to pass my bike when it’s way too dangerous! SLOW down and wait! Otherwise take your car, please.

It’s a MMP NOT a golf cart path. What gives golf carts the right of way? Just because they can go faster doesn’t means golf carts have the right of way.

What gives golf carts the right of way? Lets see, 150 lb person vs a 900 lb golf cart which is about 750 lbs of right of way. It will look real good on your tombstone, "What gives golf carts the right of way?" Like the old saying "Don't take a knife to a gun fight".
