I strongly suggest you drive your golf cart down to St Charles..You can experience your Hope gates are removed.

All Three Gates are down. Cars are not even slowing down coming from the round about, and exiting on the other side.

You have no chance of crossing safely right now, if one lane doesn’t have a car, the other lane has a cars completely ignoring the stop signs. While waiting trying to cross with at least 10 carts on each side trying to “frogger “ their way across.

Watching cars not even slowing down, passing the stop signs. Every car who is driving through STCharles gate knows carts are trying to cross, seems to either to not care, or it’s their right to make sure that cart isn’t going to get in their way.

We were going down to Brownwood, but chose to turn around, for our own safety. Hoping all golf carts once it gets dark, will make it home safely.
