If going North, turn right and go to Colony Plaza and make a U-Turn and return to the cart path.
More complicated: Slow car traffic on Colony... Although I hate them, maybe a series of speed bumps would slow traffic, which would allow carts to cross. Better yet, cars might avoid that street altogether, due to the speed bumps and the problem is solved.

Often if it is very backed up and if I am coming north from 466A, I will go through Rec center parking lot, take a right onto main road and then a left onto cart path headed north instead of waiting in line. Let me apologize now to those 20 people I have passed.....
The experts will tell us, but I think how I go north when crowded is a clue to what would be better. If when headed south bound, you had a different route for folks needing to turn left into Colony Plaza versus carts crossing to 466, that would help a lot. Do not make them form the same line.
Anyone wishing to cross the road headed southbound would have a different exit than folks headed to Colony Plaza and must take a right onto main road, then a left through rec center or some new path. Eliminate the straight across choice.
Folks headed north would do what I do, go through rec center or some new path and take right onto main road, then a left to get on north side path or continue straight to Colony Plaza. eliminate the current north bound path where it exists today south of the main road. The folks headed south that need to turn left to the Plaza no longer have to worry about folks coming straight across.
Of course I am no expert and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express, but it is fun to think of such issue and potential solutions....
