In court, the driver of the car that stop and let my daughter go was given i ticket and he was held liable for the damages to both cars. Unless something has changed, it's not a good idea to stop and let people go. So under the conditions here if you let the cart pass in front of you and it gets hit by a car coming IN the gate, you have have assumed liability for the accident. Check this for yourself. The law changes and things might not be the same. Or, they just might be the same.

I didn't realize this. Thank you for this information. I will never ever direct traffic again. No waving on to anyone.....in a car or a cart. Thanks again.
