Safety first for all walkers, runners, and joggers!

To the Editor:

As I travel in my golf cart here, I encounter many pedestrians on the streets and the paths. Please, please, please, for your safety, follow the rules of the road. If there is a sidewalk, you should be on it. Not on the street and not in the golf cart lane. You should always be facing the traffic coming towards you. If you have your back to me, and especially if you are wearing ear phones, you cannot see me or hear me coming, and I certainly do not know what you are going to do. I have had people step sideways right in my path because they had no idea that I was behind them. Always be aware of your surroundings and after dusk wear reflective clothing or some type of light so that you are visible.
