"Does this mean that walkers on the Capital Crescent Trail, for example, will now be able to use the "full lane," rather than having to walk on the shoulder "

Is the CCT so different from the trails I ride on in NoVa, where pedestrians DO take the full lane, and in fact wander across the entire trail, 4 or 5 abreast, or with a dog on a leash going across the entire trail? You say "bike passing" as a courtesy, and they have the choice of going to the right part of the lane, or IF THEY PREFER going to the grassy shoulder. If there stay on the lane, and there is safe way to pass them (because of bikes or peds coming i the other direction, then yes, cyclists slow down (I do). This can also happen when cyclists are going at different speeds.

Its one of the reasons fast cyclists in particular belong in the road, and not on the trails (at least not at their times of peak use)
