The gates definitely DO control traffic. Crossing those entrances on foot, on a bicycle, or on a golf cart would be very dangerous without the gates.
Exactly. The developer had nothing to do with the gates it's the Florida department of public safety's requirement on public roads with multi modal and pedestrian crossings with vehicular traffic. I've seen similar in other states. I don't know who started the rumors of it all being the developer's idea.
