On one of my urban loops, I use a portion of a local MUP to get across (actually under) a busy, major north-south thoroughfare. The good news is that as the temperature starts dropping during fall and winter, so does the number of inexperienced, uncaring, ignorant, stupid etc. people on the MUP. The hard core runners and cyclists are about the only ones left during fall and winter, and usually, they behave better than the casual users.
