I don't think this counts. The side area seems to be paved or gravel, it's not going anywhere new. It's just over grown except for where more people are walking, but in general everyone is still on the pathway laid out, rather than going anywhere new they desire.

... they're just choosing to take the far right side of a pre established walking track. So the designers got their assumptions right.
