It is incumbent upon those in a golf cart to slow down and/or stop before crossing the entrance to a Village, just like you would do when on foot before crossing a street. The problem is they don't do that! Automobiles ALWAYS have the right of way in this case.
You obviously have not been paying attention to the speed of cars when the gates
are removed for possible hurricane evacuation. TV puts up STOP signs at the gates but they may as well just forget that. And people DO go through at a higher rate of speed because they don't want to have to wait 10 seconds for a cart to cross.
I want to move into that make believe world that you live in where everything you design is perfect.
