And just like any other 4-way stop sign, there are people who don't know what to do when they get there...

For the record, I don't stop, I don't treat it as a 4-way stop, and I rarely see anyone else stop.

But treating it like a 4-way stop changes the nature of that intersection which more thoroughly confuses some that had no clue in the first place.

At a 4-way stop I look to my right and left to see if there is another vehicle which has stopped at the intersection before I did. If there is, then I wait for the vehicles that arrived first. All vehicles have the same priority so those that stopped first proceed first.

As you know, this is different than the normal operation of the gate. The cars proceed when their gate is raised whether or not a golf cart is already stopped on the MMP. The golf cart never has the same priority as the car; the golf cart always waits for the car to proceed.

Putting a stop sign at the gate and treating it as a 4-way stop changes the normal and expected flow of traffic through the gate. Drivers have a hard enough time figuring out how to handle gates and merges as it is, complicating it by changing the flow will just confuse them more.

And yes, part of the "fun" of driving through and across the gates is predicting just how the confused/careless/entitled/unaware/??? driver is going to act this time.

Great... If everyone else drove into a wall would you do the same?
