gates at guard houses
they open gates as soon as someone gets in that line,why don't they stop them, tell them to pull up to gate so they then can see the carts and then open it.at least then carts and vehicles can see each other.

Absolutely NOT!!! Part of what makes the villages great is being able to take your cart.

I think you have it wrong Chellybean. It has nothing to do with who has the right of way. It has to do with respect and courtesy of the roads. I have witnessed cars speeding up when cart paths join the roads just so they don't have to end up behind the cart and I have seen carts pull out in front of cars just so the car can't pass them. It is the job of every driver, car or cart, to be responsible on the roads.

Perhaps they are newbies or renters who aren't sure where they're going. We need to be especially vigilant at this time of year; and we all need to work together to protect these people from themselves.

Be very, very cautious crossing behind broken gates with the stop signs. Some cars will not stop and don't slow down regardless of what's behind the gate and some don't care!

I think if you talk with the gate attendants you will find that their job is to keep automobile traffic flowing through the gates. If there is a backup of autos/trucks at the gate, they are the priority, not golf cars at the crossing. I personally don't like having to wait forever to cross at some of the gates, but accept it as a part of living here. I always seem to be able to get where I want within a reasonable time.

Thank you for posting this. I have a complaint, as well as a compliment, about the gates. When a resident is almost through the gate area some of the attendants will open the guest gate at the same time. Usually these are construction trucks and they drive through making the resident pause mid-way to let the truck pass. I'm going to be really mad if the gate crashes down on the back of my car. On the compliment side, these gates have probably saved life and limb of some in golf carts. IMHO the gate keepers need training on keeping the gate!

Unfortunately the residents are left the burden to watch out for the visitors. |
