One way system in park?

[Romnarz]

As I was leaving the park after my run a couple were just entering and made way for me in the small pedestrian entrance.set me thinking - why not have in / out entrances ? Was pondering about this while running next day - running is boring so good time to think about problem solving Was wondering how a one way system could be instigated. On leaving the park I noticed - the two pedestrian entrances either side of closed main gate are labelled IN and other OUT

problem solved - can we stick to this from now on ?

Lived near the gates for a while and never noticed the in / out labels - do older residents remember them ever being enforced ?

Good idea - in the same way lane swimming has a direction (although some people will still swim in the wrong way).

One consideration that has not so far been mentioned is wind direction. If you are following someone who is say 2 metres in front and there is a head wind then you are going to get a steady stream of exhaled breath from the person in front. It's not do much an issue in an open space like a park but on a pavement the wind is channelled by the buildings so that it usually blows in parallel to the pavement.
