Default Re: Please don't stop at the gates.

When I am traveling south on the cart trail from Springdale, I get to the Bellaire crossover. If the way is clear, I cross into the median (between the gates) and wait for the traffic to clear. Too many times people in cars stop and wave me across. I really am waiting for them to go. They have the right of way. It is the same when I am entering Springdale. I get to the median (between the gates) and they wave me across. Personally, if I am in the car and I see the cart stop, I keep going.


Some people do not understand the median concept. I was raised in Florida and that is the way it is done. You got a clear shot on one side and you moved to the median. When the traffic clears you cross overt the next set of lanes. through traffic goes first.
