Without gates, the golf cart traffic would have significant back-ups.

Golf Cart Community.

Although, there is something to be said for "Incoming vehicles from the right do not stop" at the Boone gate on Paradise heading south. Plenty of towns have those signs where there might be a blind corner, as a reminder that incoming traffic won't be stopping because it's not a 4-way stop.

People coming in from 441 through the Boone gate are supposed to stop at the gate. And then they proceed forward to the corner, which doesn't have a stop sign for them. All the other 3 corners at that intersection are supposed to stop.
