Strange, people who have never met me keep telling me what I do and do not know.

I know exactly what you are describing but I am not wrong. At best it is a chicken or egg situation. The area where golf carts are allowed on the roads has gates at the entrances - this is the same both north and south of 466. The golf cart crossings are inside the gates such that automobile traffic must stop before reaching the crossing - this is the same both north and south of 466.

The crossings and the gates could have been placed at different locations which were not adjacent to each other, but they were not. The gates and crossings were placed to protect the crossings - this is the same both north and south of 466.

What is different is golf carts are allowed on Morse north of 466 while south of 466 Morse is a through road. Therefore, gates are present on Morse when it becomes golf cart accessible north of 466 but are placed on the side roads south of 466 if they are golf cart accessible.

You find the same thing on Meggison. Where it meets Morse there is no golf cart access and no gate. Where golf carts are allowed, down near Sawgrass, a gate has been installed to slow traffic.
