Glad you brought that up, that is a great example of why gates (not necessarily gate attendants) are very important. I find going south at that crossing to be even more dangerous. Having a roundabout dump out of Morse onto Bonita, right before the golf cart crossing, is extremely dangerous. You can never trust a blinker, or lack of one, from the vehicles in the roundabout as a safe indicator of it being safe to cross. The only real safe way to cross is to wait until the roundabout is completely empty. It’s a very poor design.
