If you are referring to the gate near CR466, they keep the gate open during busy periods so that traffic doesn't back up on to CR466. There is not a lot of distance between the gate and the major road. Not ideal, but generally carts don't have to wait very long before the lights change and normal operation is resumed. Those traveling north are not affected as they can slip on to the cart path.
