And keeping many Villagers out. This could cause more problems than it solves.

While I know I need a card to get back from Spanish Springs or Pinellas Plaza on my preferred routes, and I sincerely try to remember, I usually forget to bring it. If it wasn't for the red button I would be trapped outside.

Sure, it might be easier to remember after the first time being trapped but that isn't the point. The point is that many others are going to forget and cause a traffic jam. Once it becomes common to just let in those that forgot their cards, those that never had cards will just join the line to get in too.
