I'm sure some might be alcohol related.
Alcohol is my guess too.

Although, seeing how some drivers still can't figure out how to navigate the roundabouts, or get totally flustered with them...it might also be caused by those who maybe shouldn't be driving because of their age or loss of skill.

I've noticed the same thing at some of the other gates also.

One of the things I think would help, is that if every gate had enough room at the end of it to allow a golf cart to go around without stopping to flash a card/hit the little red button.

Some of the gates are set up that way and it's been my personal observation that traffic moves smoother in those locations.
