Many gates are staggered, such that the entrance gate is not always alongside the exit gate.
There is a big, usually white metal box, on the left side of the entrance just before the gate arm where you have to wave your card or push the red button. Also, there are big signs at the entrance telling you the name of the village you are entering. How do you miss that? There is a gate at the entrances to the different villages so how do you forget that?
