I have observed the same situation there when the gate arms remain straight up. Not only does the cars pass thru fairly quickly but cars coming from El camino start backing up. If you're in the cart you just have wait your turn. The ultimate solution would be to make Morse Blvd a very less desirable path to only use as a fast track between 27/441 and 466.
