I challenge anyone to show where other county maintained roads have gates installed...to give home owners a faux feeling of living in a 'gated community.'

The gates are here to help control traffic of cars (Slow them down at the gates) and help prevent crashes with golf carts. There are Threads with discussion regarding gates and if they should come down or be kept for safety reasons. The cost to repair the gates runs into thousands a year.
Usually The Villages has a fence (black) around the perimeter of the property. Perhaps it’s just an oversight in the area that OP speaks about near the ball diamonds.
