They require each driver to stay far right and slow down.
I added auto-style mirrors to my cart as the round one mounted inside on the windshield was inadequate to see behind me and it was mounted at eye-level, thereby blocking a decent part of my vision. These new mirrors stick out about 7 inches from the windshield post, maybe 5 inches in overall width on each side (since the bottom of the cart is wider than the windshield). When I cross these bridges I stay very conscious of the mirrors. I also watch out for my left elbow and left knee which are usually jutting out the side of the cart too.
I really think the problem you describe has less to do with mirror width and more to do with careless driving.

Some of the carts with the "hard enclosures" have mirror that are attached to the doors rather than to the cart frame. The mirrors do stick out quiet far. My wife's Yamaha was like this until we removed those mirrors and replaced them with mirrors inside the cart body.
