One of the problems is the cars in the northbound visitors lane are sometimes waived through at two or three visitors to one resident. Discontinue that practice, maybe drop the visitor gate between vehicles, and the dangerous crossing gets much less dangerous.
Totally agree.
I wasn't here when that was designed and placed, and I don't even know when that was, but I suspect there wasn't the traffic flow of automobiles heading north from 466 or Morse from points south as there is now. I'm not sure what the effect would be on the traffic at the light if the gatekeeper held the gate closed to allow golf car traffic to cross.

I wouldn't be surprised if they have received instructions to keep the cars moving, rather than worry about the golf cars. It certainly seems that way.
