Now - This only applies to exit gates where the carts cross on the inside of the gate. Bridgeport gates, for example, have the carts crossing outside of the exit gates. In this case, a cart may reasonable expect that the gate is going to close after the car passes. A caravanning car may not be seen and a conflict can happen.
The cart path at Bridgeport at Lake Miona is inside the gate. Caravaning through that entry gate is most assuredly a high risk move endangering cart drivers. It is a blind entry with no ability to see the cart path until well inside past the gate!!!
