Sure they do just like on interstate when in fast lane speeding and vehicles pull over to pass and have to slow down speed due to way over posted speed limit. That yielding to prevent accident and your safety.

That was what should have happened instead of stopping the two way path at Soledad. There was plenty of space and utilities could have run underneath just like BV MMP.

Tunnels, bridges, 2 way mmps, etal.....

I am sure all will support the increase in maintenance and amenity fees to pay for it all!!!!

To accomplish this, I propose:

1) NB gate operations continue as is
2) Move the SB gate back (north) 100-200 ft. (Yes, electricity required)
3) Install video cameras at each corner of building
4) Install and connect Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the cameras
5)Write "IF", "THEN" AI scenarios to control gates, such as:
a) IF 2 or more golf cars have been waiting > 2 minutes, THEN lower BOTH SB and NB gates to allow safe crossing of golf cars of BOTH lanes of car traffic
b) IF only 1 golf car waiting, THEN max wait time is 4 minutes (example only)
c) IF NB Morse starts to back up, THEN .........

These are only a few examples of "IF" "THEN" scenarios that can be imagined, however AI can be programmed for thousands of situations.

I am aware of other challenges, such as 911 vehicles, power outages, car wrecks, etc.
Some of these challenges may be eliminated by maintaining current staffing, using AI only for notification of traffic issues.

6) Install Red/Green signal lights to notify golf cars they can SAFELY cross both lanes of Morse without stopping in the middle median.

This is just a baseline that perhaps someone waaay smarter than me can take and run with.

Suggest all you want, the villages does what it wants, when it wants.
If it makes too much sense, they definitely won't do it.
