We all like to be courteous, but please don't do it at cart crossings.
What I was refering to is not a golf cart crossing. Cars are supposed to come to a complete stop before proceeding through the gate. If they would do that and leave time for the gate to come all the way down before flashing their card, that would give me enough time to enter the main road from my side street. But often they don't do that.

Are you familiar with the Belvedere gate?
