I was told and I agree, the gates are there to slow traffic coming into a Village or area. Most areas directly behind the gates have golf cart crossings. Without slowing down for them, we would see a lot more near misses or worse between carts and cars. I know in ours as we enter Springdale off the cart path, we look for the gate to be down to cross over to our side of the road. Just my opinion.
