Here's the problem - what's the solution. Example of the traffic these days at both St. James gate and Sunset Point Gate.
St. James gate has traffic coming in through the gate which is heavy and the cars will not even wait for the gate to go back down before they swipe and go through the gate. The carts can barely make make a quick right or get across to the middle of the road where carts can stop. There, they find the traffic is continuious so they are stuck in the middle of the road unless someone waves them through. I understand that it is not a good idea to wave carts through but the traffic at that point is constant at certain times of the day.

Example - At times it is so heavy when we are in our car on the first street by the gate (Neptune), trying to make a left onto St. Charles we need to force our way into stopped traffic or make a right on Charles and go out another gate. The golf carts at these time ARE totally at the mercy of thr car drivers. It can be a real mess and is just plain dangerous for the golf cart drivers.
When driving a cart, I dread going past the Sunset Point Gate, because it is always busy too!
Just saying!
