Actually, that gate does help. Since the cars have to slow down approaching the gate, it allows southbound golf carts a better opportunity to cross from the golf cart lane on the far right into the center median, where they again have to crossover against the northbound automobile traffic to get to the MMP. Golf carts face two separate and potentially dangerous crossovers going south.

Now, if that gate was moved in front of the golf cart crossing into the median strip, instead of well after it, that would be even more helpful.
