I'm not convinced a traffic light will work, either. Something tells me those who live south of 466A and, yes, just north are going to be in for some very unpleasant encounters with cars for a long, long time.
Thank you for a voice of reason. One simply doesn't close off a public road. It would inconvenience a lot more traffic than the golf carts who are inconvenienced now, and push the traffic problem down the road to another location.

I do think a traffic signal will work, though.
