Easy, peasy. Have you seen the many bicyclists that blow through stop signs and also disregard the rules of the road? Every morning during my 5 mile walk I see many more bicyclists disregard stop signs than golf carts. Full disclosure, I ride both.

The thread is about gates. While the St. James visitor's card scanner was damaged, cart drivers took their life in their own hands crossing or turning onto St. Charles. There was a stop sign at the disabled visitor's gate that vehicle drivers (residents, visitors and commercial vehicles) disregarded many times everyday JUST TO SAVE THOSE FEW SECONDS. I have worked many stop sign/light accidents in my career and believe me, some of them weren't pretty.
