The main gate on Belvedere at 466 has an arm that is short. Cars must stop, but the arm permits golf carts to easily pass beside the arm without merging with traffic and using a card. In six years, I've never once seen a bicycle or a golf cart use a card.

Tzangrilli, are you positive that golf carts should always leave the golf cart path and merge with traffic, so they can use their card to open the gate? Since it is a "pretend security gate", why would they need to do this?
