That is not a standard feature of controllers. In fact, it would require new hardware and labor hours to make that happen. Why should we pay even more money for the grand illusion of a "gated community"? Every gate would need more money spent on a system that has outlived it's actual function. I am sick of having my fees spent on that system.
It would encourage golf carts to dart between cars. That's dangerous. Trying to "time" the gap will lead to increased risky driving. That happens often enough now, why would we want to do anything to encourage more of that stupidity?
It would introduce a bit of a delay, thus making a string of cars take more time to get through. That would irritate many drivers. We all know that irritated drivers are more likely angry, and would accelerate asap. So that cart who tried to zip through the gap will now get hit (hard). It would be 100% the cart's fault for failure to yield the right of way.
Actions have Consequences. Often bad.
