What pride does anyone have in being able to abuse these rules and goals of the Villages.

OP here......I suggest you haven't taken the time to read all the posts in this thread. You will realize I don't take pleasure at all in violating the rules when exiting some of these villages. Not all villages have a sign posted at the exits that the gate comes down after each vehicle. Folks who frequent the St. James gate have the same issues with the exit gate not coming down in a timely manner.
I have tried to allow the gate to come down as I exit Mallory but the darn thing remains up. My car approaches the gate after another car has gone through and I'm at least two car lengths away from the gate. The darn gate stays up. I said that already a few posts ago. I guess you either ignored that post or you haven't read all the posts in this thread.
Maybe TPTB will be made aware of this thread and fix the Mallory exit gate to come down quickly after a car goes through, even if another car approaches the "eye".
