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.
I haven't gone through the Bridgeport exit gate. Does it come down in a timely manner? Can the people in carts see the gate come down? If they can see the gate, wouldn't they wait to see the gate come down rather than proceeding and causing an accident?
