Yes, but at some gate crossings it's more like the Imus/Howard stern version circa 1977:

"Mr. Rambo's neighborhood", lyrics as follows:

Welcome to the neighborhood
An air raid on Main Street would really be good
Light up your life
With some international strife
Come and kill your neighbor

$250.00 for the gate repairs on average

If you don’t see the arm at eye level, you are NOT going to see a speed hump.

If you can't see a gate arm or a yellow speed bump with signage then maybe you shouldn't be driving.

Amazing that during inclement weather they take the gate arms down with no real uptick of issues.

TV is so stubborn and stuck in outdated technology.

Just issue of majority people not stopping and just busting right through like there no stop sign. Or doing (enter your state) the rolling right through. Just like most 4 way stops, roll through stop sign thinking they have right away. You’re not in line till you stop preferably at or behind the stop sign not half way out in intersection…

Might possibly be because there are far fewer golf carts driving around during hurricanes.

If you don't stop and cover the crosswalk some inconsiderate pedestrian might walk in front of you.

Just think how fast your cart could go with a really good tail wind! WOW!

I would hate to see how many cart/car accidents we would have without the gates. Cars would come off the round a bouts and never slow down. It can be a bit sketchy now, even with the gates when there's a lot of traffic.
