If you get rid of the attendant, then every car has to stop to wait for the gate to lift, and you would then see the traffic backed up to 466.

Having the attendant prevents that from happening, which is why you have never seen it.
Exactly my point as well. If the traffic never backs up even close to 466, why are the gate attendants too lazy to turn around and check for golf cart backups behind them. Since automobile traffic never backs up near 466, why not periodically hold up the cars for a few seconds and let a few carts safely crossover?
