While I think the signs are adequate, particularly with a reminder that there are only a few gates that golf carts should be traveling through, a picture instead of (or in addition to) would definitely help.

When I approach a circle in my car I know enough to look for the green sign. Still, with all the signs at the gates and intersections it can be difficult to find the one you are looking for or to take note of everything you are being told. In a cart I know I don't have to look at almost any sign since I can't reach the speed limit, I have a separate lane, and I know to look for cart paths. Putting that together, it is easy to not notice a sign or to miss it in the jumble. A red circle over a cart would be much more noticeable.
