I agree with Carla B on the reason and need for gates, and also an attendant (at that location only!). A few scenarios I encountered were the following...
A larger truck approached the left lane, got out and hit the button, jumped back in, and once proceeding thru, the gate came down on his truck(and detached). That's a poor design.
I was behind someone, who opened the gate and drove thru, while I waited for the gate to come down, then swipe it back open. The lady then decided to stop right after the gate, to wave golfcarts thru, and I became stuck under the gate, which was trying to come down on my roof!
Finally, I was in a golf cart, trying to enter the street(path) from the MMP. I watched a car(s) entering the gate. I proceeded on the street(thinking he would be stopping to open the gate, but the attendant was being a hero, by opening the gate for cars before they reached the stopping point, and they were all just driving thru. I didn't realize he was doing this, until I'm already on the street, almost getting hit. He was not paying any attention to golf cart traffic! Dangerous!
Enough said.
