I just heard confirmation today that the attendants are supposed to stop each car before it goes through the Visitor gate. Perhaps that is happening at 466 but my guess it is not and instead, as I have seen happen, the attendant simply waves the entire line through.

Even if they didn't periodically look at the carts waiting to turn, if they stopped each car coming in through the Visitor gate, or better yet, if they held up each car such that traffic through the two gates was staggered, it should really help the situation.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
