different and more dangerous on a bicycle, for the rider and the people walking (and more coming from them behind since they are oblivious), of course this is totally off course the topicHonestly, at Disney, if you're (general you) a walking wall and you're coming towards me, you're moving around me, 'cause I am not moving to accomodate you. I walk through groups who are 4-6 people across multiple times a day at the parks.
That's your problem, not the wall's. As long as the wall is moving consistently at a normal speed with the flow of traffic in the appropriate direction, then it can be as big as it needs to be. Someone trying to "pass" because they're walking at a faster pass than the normal flow of traffic is the one breaking the social norm, not the wall.
Disney should require a governor installed on scooters to prevent this type of thing. Yeah, if the group is just standing still in the middle of the path, fine, go around (or through) them. But too often the scooters are ripped all the way up to "rabbit" speed, and a scooter that's set to go faster than any person should reasonably be expected to walk is not acceptable.This! When my mom and I (who uses a scooter) encounter a large wall of more than 2-3 across, no way does she try to move. She's more likely to take someone out walking next to her by swerving to avoid the oncoming wall, so she just goes through. I used to yell, "excuse us" but not anymore. I ended up with a hoarse voice from all the yelling, so I just let her "part the seas".
Hard disagree on that point.
That's only true if the highway is uncrowded. If the highway is super crowded, nobody will be driving even at the speed limit, let alone above it. If the highway is moderately crowded, such that the passing lane needs to be used as a travel lane, but not so crowded that the whole flow slows below the posted limit, it's perfectly acceptable to drive 73 in a 65 in the left lane.
1. I am of the general opinion that American highways would be FAR less congested if people followed the passing lane rule. Sadly, they don't. For that matter, busy staircases/escalators would also be less congested if people followed this very simple rule.
Agree with the need for having ”governors” on ecv/scooters. In our case, she keeps hers turned down so that she keeps ”walking”-pace with us. We generally walk next to her unless we are in a huge crowd. I don’t think I’ve ever been so frustrated as I was when we were in line for th ferry and people ignored her and cut in front of her, constantly separating us. That was one of the reasons I told my DH I would never again stay offsite again as getting to the TTc at the end of a MK day was too horrible. My 2 teens said they wouldn’t go back to MK that trip because of it.
<sarc> Normal Speed </sarc>
People are stupid, Covid or no Covid level crowds…The fact that we are discussing this is a sign to me that that things are getting back to normal at the parks
Especially on Main Street where you also have to deal with the groups getting their pictures taken by Disney AND the groups too cheap to pay, so they just stop along side and pose at the same time. That plus trying to navigate over the ever expanding gaps along the train tracks… try crossing those the wrong way with a stroller or ECV…
In NJ, they’re known as left lane d**ks…passing lane doing 55 in a 65 limit.
It doesn't work for odd numbered parties. Two parents with three kids walking 2-2-1 means one of the kids is my themselves.
Absolutely because you have to pass on the right to get around them
This is what a wall is....
Almost every culture and society on the globe can be at the parks at any given time.
