Regardless, I think we may assume that much of the damage is caused by service providers who may not know The Villages that well and are rushing to their next job.
Anything that can make the arms more visible TO EVERYONE should be tried. We are the ones paying to repair the arms, so if we can reduce the number of collisions that money can be used for other purposes. With a reported 2,500 collisions per year, even a 10% reduction would save a lot of unnecessary expense.

Like I said, it's real difficult to recognize the exit by the white building, and the arm of the gate that has reflective tape on it..............
Maybe if ALL slowed down instead of trying to beat it returning to the down position?
Of course, it is not the erratic and careless drivers fault, right?
