The gates are there to slow down vehicular traffic so the golf carts can proceed on the cart path at the gates. At the present time, the gate cards is the system The Villages has for residents to open the gates.

Some posters, including myself, have voiced a wish for a new system to open the gates. As system that will eliminate the gate cards and allow the driver to go through the gates without ever having to take their hands off the steering wheel. But.......at this point and time, we must live with the gate cards.
