Also at the guarded gates the guards pay little or no attention to letting a car go flying through when there are carts "in the way." I have only seen one gate that had a "GOLF CART CROSSING" sign in front of it (I'm sure there are more but that's all we've noticed) which MIGHT make drivers at least think before speeding through. Point is, all they really do is break up the flow of traffic but the "safety" benefit is limited.
Yeah right! Like the STOP sign that is in front of every gate.

We can blame signage, shrubbery, Gate guards, the Morse family and a thousand other things..... or the people who are always in a hurry for some reason. SLOW DOWN folks.
