They work great but you will have to change your driving habits. You can't just fly through the gate. You have to come to a stop as close to the pad as safely as you can and breath slowly. You'll find that most of the "problematic" gates are in the older northern areas of the Villages where the pads are lower (and older).
I always wondered what that silly 8 sided red sign was for....... and where in the Villages are the most "problematic" drivers?
