If you want to slow things down, put in a speed bump. Otherwise I'd say you are just wasting money putting the gates in. I understand on the existing areas but the new ones... Why spend the money....

Gates cause an actual pause in traffic, allowing golf carts and pedestrians to cross.
TV -IS- a golf cart community...
Stop signs? People roll thru those all of the time. Same with speed bumps. They may slow traffic a bit, but don't physically STOP it...
