Once the gates are actually in place things should improve. Southbound cars will be paced by the gates and northbound cars will back up waiting for the get to open. As it is now, cars don't slow down in either direction making it difficult to find a gap between them to cross.

Not the best design for a golf cart crossing of the only route into and out of all that area. The current design is something similar to an at-grade crossing of Buena Vista or Morse near 466. An at-grade crossing would be a bad idea on Buena Vista and it is a bad idea in that section of Meggison.

Let's hope they get the gates installed before we read about a car hitting a golf cart there.
