I ride all of the bikeways in r.I.
an the walker are all over the paths on the right and the left , they ignore the rules, and there been times they on both sides at the same time while I was passing. beware of dog owner many time they let the dog off lead.
when I pass I use my bell or buzzer to warn them and there been many times they won't move.
the also says walkers are suppose to walk if 2 side by side, I seen many people violate this rule many times, blocking the path.
I guess since there no way to police the rules of the path, people are going to do want they want.

just be careful and watch out for the walkers.
