You’re walking along a path and another person approaches from the opposite direction.

Do you tilt your head to signify which direction around them you intend to go? Is that head tilt understood by others?

Should we start pointing also?

Install hand blinkers?

    Some recreational trails will have signage reminding people to keep to the right unless passing around someone

    I feel like that’s generally understood to be the standard

      When I’m walking, bikes are all over the place. When I’m biking, walkers are in the center and jump to a random side when they hear a bike behind them.

        I’ve definitely had it happen on a bicycle or longboard when someone abruptly moves to the left when I ring my bell or say, “On your left.”

        I don’t understand why. It puts everyone involved at risk.

        Probably the same people who don’t use their turn signals in a car.
