I think that's a sensible answer. Most accidents are the result of a failure to yield, I would guess.
I think it's also sensible to consider that speed differential between golf cars and automobiles may contribute to that. I'm pretty sure that's why there is a law that makes 30mph the max speed limit allowed on a roadway open to both types of vehicles.

While nothing is going to make the roadway idiot-proof, and since it is unlikely that anyone is going to totally rebuild the roadway to make it look like Buena Vista, it seems to me that a good start would be to enforce the speed limit in order to get drivers to use the roadway within the intended design, and see if that doesn't at least help.

And I agree that the biggest problem is the cross-over.
