To accomplish this, I propose:
1) NB gate operations continue as is
2) Move the SB gate back (north) 100-200 ft. (Yes, electricity required)
3) Install video cameras at each corner of building
4) Install and connect Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the cameras
5)Write "IF", "THEN" AI scenarios to control gates, such as:
a) IF 2 or more golf cars have been waiting > 2 minutes, THEN lower BOTH SB and NB gates to allow safe crossing of golf cars of BOTH lanes of car traffic
b) IF only 1 golf car waiting, THEN max wait time is 4 minutes (example only)
c) IF NB Morse starts to back up, THEN .........
These are only a few examples of "IF" "THEN" scenarios that can be imagined, however AI can be programmed for thousands of situations.
I am aware of other challenges, such as 911 vehicles, power outages, car wrecks, etc.
Some of these challenges may be eliminated by maintaining current staffing, using AI only for notification of traffic issues.
6) Install Red/Green signal lights to notify golf cars they can SAFELY cross both lanes of Morse without stopping in the middle median.
This is just a baseline that perhaps someone waaay smarter than me can take and run with.

yeah nice try, more beginner programmer stuff. the first issue is the AI, second is there isn't enough cases to predict the outcome, coding is an absolute nightmare, it's far easier to just move the crossing to the gate like any other area south of 466. that's just the expense of a widening of a smaller section of road. nothing else. Aside from that, if you know of a remote messaging system to put in their golf carts and constantly reminds them of the 'golf cart rules' it might add to the benefit LOL.
