Obeying The Rules of The Road

Walking on campus is a lot like driving. People walk in the invisible right lanes on sidewalks with slower people on the far right and faster people passing them on the left. We yield to bikes and buses for fear of being squished. The problem I found today with all this is that some walkers don't know when to give you the right of way. I was approaching a sidewalk corner and saw that there was a guy walking perpendicularly to me approaching the same corner. I was walking faster so I kept going straight, looking straight ahead so he could tell where I was going. Instead of walking behind me, he sped up and curved around in front of me. I kind of wished I had a horn to honk.
