Imagine the cart crossing area at a former gate location. Cars do not stop anymore. No bulky walls, mechanisms, or large landscaping to block the view of those oncoming cars from the golf cart driver's seat...
Golf cart driver knows the car is not stopping, so why they drive into the road knowing they will get hit?
10 cars will go past faster than one would if stopping for a gate arm. Traffic would clear faster and everything would move faster. And safer.

Understanding that concept requires an open mind. A willingness to challenge the "we always do it this way" attitude. Not always being negative. Look for ways to do things better, and do it.
