Hmmmm, don’t be too quick to criticize from one experience? Where do you come up with that assumption? We have owned a home off of Morse, north of 466, for 6+ years. Over the years we have easily taken that route well over a thousand times via golf cart. Never have we observed the gate attendant purposely stagger auto traffic to allow golf carts to cross over to the MMP. On occasion, automobiles will stop to allow a few carts to cross. Whenever I am driving a car north through that gate (which is not frequently since we use our golf carts almost exclusively) I always stop and let several golf carts through, because I know first hand what a pain in the butt that area can be and it’s the right thing to do. Typically, when I stop to allow carts to cross over, the car horns start honking at me. The more they honk, the more golf carts I let through, and the longer the horn honkers wait.
