In our neighborhood in Virginia, there were two intersections where one direction had thru traffic and the other direction had stop signs. Both intersections were changed to four-way stops and, at least to my wife and I, traffic moves very well.

People are almost always very considerate. If I reach the 4-way stop at the same time as another driver, the other driver usually waves for me to go.

You've been very active on recent threads regarding traffic involving golf carts vs autos. The basic rule is very simple: autos have the right of way. You can suggest all the rules you wish, but many of the stop signs for carts are simply reminders that autos have the right of way. As others have noted, an auto driver waving on a cart is acting illegally since he/she cannot direct traffic.

I'm beginning to wonder why you are having such difficulty with traffic rules. I would suggest the traffic in your VA neighborhood is unlike that here. You need to take that into consideration.

The purpose of the gates is to give carts an opportunity to cross auto lanes between cars.
