Mail them an envelope with a piece of paper inside with the link to this conversation and nothing else.
Normal isn't what it used to be.
Gross tonnage always has the right of way.
I tell my kids (who walk to school) even if you think you have the right of way, you always try to make eye contact with the driver and stay the heck out of the way. You’ll have the moral high ground from a coffin. I do the same thing while running especially since everyone is distracted while driving these days.

Similar to what I explained to our kids when they started driving - always drive defensively ! Told them, "you might be in the right, but you can still be dead".

Go online and sign up the neighbors for information from all the local health clubs. They need a gym membership, screw them.
Give them a short physics lesson, such as a 200 LB human vs a 4,000 LB vehicle.
I live my life believing “the vehicle with the most lug nuts wins in a crash.” I have zero lug nuts, cars have at least 16, and while I’m not the greatest at math 0 is less than 16.
A couple weeks ago I was driving uphill on a somewhat busy narrow road through a small town and it was nearly dusk. A kid wearing all black was on a razor scooter heading downhill in the opposite direction at a fast speed. I saw him last minute coming around a sharp bend. I wanted to roll down my window and yell at him. Scared the daylights out of me. A few seconds later I passed cars going in the opposite direction. Wouldn’t surprise me if he got ran over.
Quote of the century! Tagline worthy.
The intelligence of your neighbors is off the charts. 
Wearing dark clothing during a night time walk is asking for trouble.

Over the years I've almost ran into several people on the bike. And I'm only going 12-15. If I can't see them at that speed cars sure can't. I don't understand why people wear black and walk on the streets after dark.
What if they have their windows (and windshield) blacked out? I'm not kidding. This has become normal here in Calif. The cops aren't doing anything about it either
Stay out-of-the-way is the order of the day. Cars typically only drive one direction at a time so don’t get in the path of trajectory is the best advice I can give.
Sounds like a pretty tight area. Anything much over 20 probably appears to be pretty reckless in an area like that... at least judging by your photos and description. Sounds a lot like my neighborhood, I don't care if the default speed limit is 30 (when not specifically posted) anyone going that fast in an area like that looks like a lunatic with no care for anyone else around them.

You certainley have no eye problem. They have a common sense disorder.
I haven't read all the posts so don't know if anyone else mentioned it but it looks like your neighbor is wearing dark clothes and walking on the wrong side of the road (with the direction of traffic) instead fo the correct way: facing oncoming traffic
