Exclamation Northbound Morse Gate at 466

I have never seen a gate operator turn around to check out how many golf carts are lined up trying to cross over to the MMP. Frankly, if they don’t do that one simple task, why do they even need to be there?
Yes, this has been a safety hazard for many years. At busy times southbound golf carts are forced to take risks to get across. A policy of only letting one visitor through to every two residents would create gaps but a simple look and see would also solve the problem. Yes, it would occasionally cause a slight backup but nothing is perfect when there are two lanes merging into one.
