It really is a simple concept.
I agree with you on the exit gate. And I have never seen anyone stop and wait for the exit gate to go down. At St. James gate, you would practically be sitting on the golf cart crossing path while waiting for the gate to go down and then come back up again.

But also, I would not stop and let carts go through. It's confusing. They expect to have to wait.
