Cars coming off the round-a-bouts will exit at 35 miles (or more) per hr. You could be halfway across (making sure the coast was clear), with no one coming and get t-boned by a car coming off the circle. I would bet the farm that if you remove the gates that there will be a significant increase in accidents...
Oops. My bad. I meant "security", not "safety". You are right about cars exiting the RABs. I guess the gates are a must to keep people from speeding into the villages.
