If a police car has a car pulled over onto the side of the road, they'll both be blocking golf cart traffic. That forces golf carts (and bicyclers and pedestrians, who are also allowed on that mini-lane) to merge into the 30mph road. It's not a big deal if they're expecting to do that when they're turning left onto a side street or onto the MMP near the gate. It's another matter entirely when it's sudden, when there's already a lot of traffic on the road.
Good point. Also, I drive this road almost every day and do believe that there are very few "speeders" on this road. Only way a person would SEE a speeder is admitting that you are speeding unless someone passes you on this road.
