Speed bumps are not the answer because of those that need help quickly (ambulances and emergency vehicles) and the fact that they cause excess wear and tear on your car it's not feasible or practical. Those still going too fast through them may also hit their heads on the roof of the vehicles and cause them to have an accident by losing control and possibly hitting a golf cart trying to cross or worse, having a stroke or heart attack from the shock and doing even more damage. People speeding through the gates will still be doing it...but, my thought for those claiming not to see them is that we change the color of the pole gates from red to that fluorescent green which has been proven to be more visible and is now being used on certain road signs for that reason.
