In addition, where the carts cross is an intersection and blocking an intersection inhibiting traffic isn't legal. There is also a stop for the carts halfway across the intersection where the cart has a clear view of both gates entering. While there are those that like to race the gates the necessary safeguards are there even though patience and common sense are frequently missing.....from both the cars and the carts.
