Except one option - remove all the gates. Also clear out all the landscaping blocking line of sight. Saves a bundle of money now, and every year in the future.
These are public roads, so golf carts have to yield to all cars until the road is 100% clear. No matter if its 10 cars in a row - golf cart cannot enter the road and impede a car in any manner. Gates do not alter the law; and do not give golf carts the right to enter a road in front of a car at a gate. Carts required to wait.
These are public roads, so speed bumps are not allowed here. Making a profit from a gate arm strike is also not allowed (interesting that TV may be doing that now, and could be heading for a class action lawsuit)
Any links to back up those last assertions?

And if you think tbings are dangerous now, just wait till you see what happens if they remove all of the gates...
