Run at a less crowded time.
my recovery runs are 9:30 pace. well they used to be. it's probably 11:30 now.
You are right anyone that can’t run sub 4 min miles should be banned from running right, they are just joggers right....
7:30 is way too slow to literally thin the herd.
In my seminal thread on this very issue from the 27th March, I considered the requirement for a much more stringent containment policy:-

So you would ban the Kenyans running 8-10 min/mile on their recovery runs, but running 10k's in 26:30-27:45? That's ridiculous.
Keep blasting ur easy runs, and keep struggling to break 30 in a 10k complaining about others running to slow on "your" roads.

What he said
Wwaaaahhhhh
We’re all hobby joggers now.
Actually we’re all just fitness joggers.
What race do you have coming up?
Four and a half years ago, I attended some end of season D-1 XC meets. I saw runners doing a warm up mile or two at sub-6 pace. I watched men & women doing (10 to 15) x roughly 100m in app. 13.5 or 14.5 men or women. I thought: I had similar anxious energy at their age. I did the same foolishness at their age.
I now jog one mile at 9 minutes or slower before a race with two 25m sprints at 7/8ths effort before a race. Sometimes, slow is okay.
I live in NYC. Runners aren’t the problem...it’s the walkers. Ban them from either the upper/lower reservoir loop and encourage them to walk on more of the cut-through paths instead of the perimeter loop.
My young gf has run sub 32 for 10km. Her warmup consists of 15 minutes of slow jogging. No strides either. Must be nice to have such natural talent.
Scott Fauble is on record as saying he runs at that pace. Plenty of Pro's run much slower than that on some runs

Were you rejected from a position as a school hallway pass monitor as a child?
Then how would all the Instagram girls be able to post their selfies?
That one guy that does all of his training runs at 6:30 pace and then proceeds to run an 18:00 5K and since he came in 4th place at the turkey trot he now considers himself “sub-elite”
Sex dolls don't count.
Run at a less popular time, run less popular routes, move, or deal with it.
In 1973 the running godz banned running at a pace slower than 7 minutes per mile. They refer to those slower than 7 minute pace but faster than 14 minute pace as joggers. The rest are walking unless they are on a specified trail where they call it hiking.
