Either method forces you to stop before going through it. Just make sure every vehicle passing through the gates is recorded in the event of criminal activity.

I guess residents have an aversion to rolling down their window and using their access card.
Really a strenuous task for sure. I have always been a proponent of using the cards. Perhaps they want to track how often actual residents use the gates. Perhaps they want to prevent "Mirror Clone" card users from approaching the gate terminals too closely or too fast just and potentially damage the equipment because they think it activated and crash through the arm (I have witnessed this three times). I think they should give some type of bonus for residents that use their valid cards for the amount of times they use it instead of pushing the button. Upgrading the technology is a good thing.
