You'll never fix stupid but that should fix the main problem on that stretch of road.

Strongly agree that something needs to be done to stagger the automobile traffic flow which will create openings for golf carts to crossover. Currently, just about every gate operator is totally oblivious to the back up of golf carts behind them and just lets cars through the gates as fast as possible. Often, the gate operator keeps both gates open and just flips their stop sigh back and forth to alternate cars going through the gates so fast there is no way for a cart to crossover. If the gates were required to always be manually operated, with a forced delay between openings, the sequence could easily be calibrated to create the necessary opportunities for carts to crossover.
On another note, when I go through that gate in a car, which isn’t often, I always stop in front of the crossover and let several golf carts through. The smiles, waves, and thank you gestures I receive from cart drivers makes me so happy i can easily ignore the a holes behind me in cars beeping at me : )
