But if the speed limits are 45 in the areas of the cross gates, then according to that website, golf carts -would- be able to cross them.

Maybe instead of going crazy spending a fortune building all these bridges, they could submit a request to change zoning regulations to reduce the speed limit to 45 on these roads as they pass through the villages? Safer for everyone really, considering these are main thoroughfares with commercial properties on them. If they're not already 45.

If they are already 45, then either the website is wrong, or the villages is wrong about golf carts crossing them.

Just a thought.
That section refers to street legal carts not regular carts. A SL can cross ANY road at a controlled intersection but a regular cart cannot UNLESS it's 35 or less or a local ordinance is made by a township of which there is ONE around here which is on 441 for that other community to get over to Walmart. Forgot the exact location. 466A is 45 until you get to Powell towards 301 then it drops to 30 and 35. Any of those rules can be overridden by local ordinance.
