[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some neighborhoods in america are enforcing staying on the correct side of road (so everyone moves along in same direction). Dc could also designate streets/trails for the cyclists and joggers spraying droplets, and they could be with each other? So many have come up swiftly behind me and cut close, with zero regard for my ability to maneuver to the side and away. If DC got creative they could send out a designated map that brought a little more order and safety to the outdoor exercise scene.[/quote]

There is no "correct side of the road" for walking.

Cities all over the US and the world are opening streets for people who are out getting exercise. There's no reason DC can't do it too, other than lack of will.[/quote]

I chuckle when I read this, "There is no correct side of the road for walking". I feel like I am discussing something with my teenager who will take a winning argument to the grave. "But mom, I don't have to look both ways because the walk sign came on" as she crosses with her earpods in and never looks up for traffic.

There may be no 'correct' way, but don't you think you can pull your head up from your phone long enough to imagine that if people walked on the 'correct' side during this crazy situation that we find ourselves in, we just might make ourselves and our fellow neighbors feel a bit safer while they are social distancing.

But you just go ahead an be you...to borrow another phrase from my daughter.[/quote]
