OK, but why the need of a gate card when going in one direction and not the other?

I am just trying to understand the rationale for the use of gate cards when using public roads.
Well, it would be a bit difficult or too late to help any golf carts, bike and pedestrians, since you would have already run them over by the time you got to the place to wave your key card to open the gate when you are using the exit.
