Perhaps the simplest, and most cost-effective measure would be to just widen the cart lane so there is a tad more room for both cars and carts. Of course, that might just encourage cars to go faster.
I disagree that cars do not speed and are watchful for carts. I travel that Morse daily as it's the only to get south from where I live. Especially at rush hour auto traffic is way over 30 mph. I know this because after engouh time traveling you can pretty much know what 30 mph looks like passing you. The other issue is landscape trailers that are wider than the towing vehicle. I agree making the cart path wider would help create distance between the cart and the auto.
