<winces> I've already been startled (and so was the
horse, thank goodness it was Darby and not Cezanne) by
a hybrid coming up behind us. I'd guess that any
number of folks on foot or bicycle depend on _hearing_
a car as part of their safety awareness, not just
blind people. And what about where the trail crosses
a street at a sharp turn? I've avoided horse-, bike-
and on-foot accidents just by being able to hear the
idiot speeder before they rounded the curve at ~twice
the posted speed...I don't see speeders slowing down,
or sounding a special tootler as they whiz about the
neighborhood.
