I NEVER EVER caravan through the gate while entering a neighborhood, especially Mallory. The gate is timed to come down much too quickly. That is why the Mallory gate is broken often. People play chicken with the gate on the way in and the gate will win every time.

It is the Mallory exit gate that is slow as molasses in January (a northern expression). That's why nearly everyone caravans through the exit gate.
