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.
The costs are readily available for residents to see what maintenance, utilities, salaries, etc. run for all the gates. Do your homework and you will see that the totals for these gates are very expensive.

There are very few people crossing entrances on foot. And it is the responsibility of those on a bicycle or golf cart to make sure it is safe for them to cross the entrance to a Village. I will repeat . . . it is THEIR responsibility to do that! Cars have the right of way.
