The reason a car has the right of way at a gate is that the crossing cart traffic has A STOP SIGN, the car does not. No different than an intersection with a 2 way stop. Who stops and waves cars with a stop sign through in that situation? Hopefully no one. Imagine someone stopping on 466 to let someone from a side street go through a stop sign.
Merging is quite different---the vehicle in the lane has the right of way over the vehicle that wants to enter that lane, but.....it is not a race---the vehicle in the lane has no right to accelerate above the speed limit to block out the merging vehicle, which in this case is always a cart (or bicycle). No different than entering the interstate----the merging vehicle can only proceed when it is clearly safe, but you always run into bozos that speed up to prevent your merge.
Lastly, at a 4 way stop, the vehicle arriving first has the right of way, regardless if it is a cart or car. If 2 or 3 vehicles arrive at the same time, the one furthest left has the right of way
