I watched it before. All at Delmar gate. I'd love to see the tapes of the cars or other vehicles taking out the gates into villages off Morse or Buena Vista. Better yet cars blowing the stop signs through the lanes with broken gates. Have popcorn handy!

They are obviously gate haters. I do hope they are required to pay for repairs.

Since the gates are just for show anyway, it seems to me that if the powers-that-be are insistent on keeping them, then at least they could shorten them just enough for a cart to go around the end of them...but not let a standard automobile past. Flame suit on! |

Now the flame -- the gates are there for more than just show. They are a traffic aid. Slows cars down, gives golf carts a chance to cross the street. I really, really hate when people can't see that they do serve a purpose besides just to inconvenience drivers.

Not saying that isn't what you were told, I'm just having a hard time believing any traffic official would have said that...and would love to have someone provide a link showing that as a reason for the longer gate arms. Quote:
A lot of locations where there are gates, there aren't any golf cart crossings...so those gates do nothing anyway and is a moot point. In addition, the gates often create an automobile queue that carts have to wait for (unless someone misguidedly waves a cart across in front of them, but that's a different thread subject ) and without the gates...maybe auto traffic would clear quicker. However, I do understand those who feel better thinking they live in a 'gated community.' |

People have been hitting the exit gate so frequently for Hillsborough to Buena Vista that the current stop sign is becoming a permanent fixture. Golf carts don’t get the blame here.
