The idea is that pedestrians that are confronted with a bicycle riding
directly towards them will be aware of the vehicle, while those walking
to the right will not notice the presence of a bicyclist until he is upon
them. Walking to the left and then stepping off of the path onto the
verge is the proper behavior of pedestrians on bicycle paths.
