Right... forget the formal "rules" and follow this advice !
Just had this situation: going thru Bellvedere gate by high school in golf cart, pushed button, gate up, proceeded, gate arm in auto lane is down. As I approached the first street on the right (only yards after the gate is a street that turns into a villa area on the right) I hear a ROAR and an auto that passed through the gate well after I had come through the gate absolutely FLOORED the vehicle and cut right in front of me narrowly NARROWLY missing the front of my cart ! #1 how the person even made the right hand turn without loosing all control of the car ? #2 what would possess a person to make a turn right in front of a golf cart that was less than 3-5 SECONDS from passing that street into the villas. The individual who did this was NOT driving a FIRE TRUCK of emergency vehicle. I had no idea they were even through the gate yet until the roar and wheels squealing at they turned in front of the cart ! ? Go figure ?
