5mph when passing? I hope they ticket runners too.

For a runner a 7 min/mile pace is 8.5 mph.

Or a 5 mph speed is a 12:00 min/mile pace, a speed most casual runners are capable of on flats and downhill.

Hikers are erratic. It's common when a person is walking to see something interesting and immediately walk towards it. It's Nature, and you are there to see stuff, right? (I catch myself almost doing this on a nearby shared use trail. I only avoid doing this because I'm aware of the challenges bikers face).

Expecting hikers to not behave like humans is foolish. 5mph really is about right for passing someone.
