No, Tal. My activist days are so over.
I'm just saying that vehicles exiting this gate may not see golf carts attempting to cross the entrance. Captain, we can be courteous, but that won't help blindspots. I am always courteous at this gate. I know carts and cars are aggravated because of it. Those speedbumps rattle your brains even when you go over them very slowly.
The speedbumps also stop the carts that would fly through the crossing, but they make it difficult to safely navigate the crossing.
Speaking of being courteous or friendly, I always smile and wave at cart drivers at this gate.
You'd be amazed at how many won't make eye contact or wave/smile back. I'd guess about 1 in 15 returns my wave. Sad.
