Re: On foot, on crutches, in wheelchairs

I live in an area where we have several lanes with no footpaths. It's also a popular sight-seeing area so we frequently have walkers. As the lanes have quite a lot of bends, one has a couple of right-angled bends made blind because of retaining walls on the inside. The sensible thing to do here is ignore the facing the traffic bit - keep on the outside of every bend where you can be seen by oncoming traffic. On the whole people seem to walk at random. As some of them will have driven here you'd think they'd have a driver's perspective on it but it doesn't really seem to work. Given that I've seen one idiot park up on the short stretch between a cross-roads and the worst of the blind bends maybe it's not too surprising.
