By stopping after passing through the gate for the golf carts crossing the road on the multi-modal path, you risk the gate arm lowering onto your vehicle or the vehicle behind you. Keep going — you have the right of way.[/B]
And then if you refuse to go when in a cart after the "good samaritan" in the car waves you through, they give you the finger. These people think they are doing a good deed when in fact, it is very dangerous.
