Slowing cars so that golf carts can more SAFELY cross has nothing to do with safety?
Cars coming off the round-a-bouts will exit at 35 miles (or more) per hr. You could be halfway across (making sure the coast was clear), with no one coming and get t-boned by a car coming off the circle. I would bet the farm that if you remove the gates that there will be a significant increase in accidents...
