That leaves most part-time visitors that are confused.

Honestly, when we first moved here, no body told me there should only be one car at time going
though when the gate is up.

Stonecrest has the lighted gates that seem to work better, but I suppose they get hit also.
There are signs posted at some gates that state the gate comes down after each vehicle.

As and aside and a bit off topic so sorry in advance................

These gates are for traffic control. Today when waiting to go through an entrance gate, I waited for the gate to go up and when the gate did go up, I proceeded to move my vehicle in a forward motion. Low and behold, there comes a golf cart from my right and it passed right in front of me. The woman driver was looking straight ahead and seemed to be oblivious to my vehicle that would have creamed her if it weren't from me hitting my brakes. I had the right of way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With driving like that, she is not long for this world!

Now back to the regularly scheduled programming.
