It doesn't say anything about the gates being used for traffic control. Also, they still claim that The Villages has three movie theaters, which hasn't been true for years.
I have to admit, that is misleading at best. It would certainly lead most people to believe the gates exist for security reasons.
I have a buddy who bought here almost 20 years ago and didn't know until I told him that the streets and roads inside TV are not privately owned. He didn't believe me when I told him.
The fact is the developers have, in more than one way, been misleading at times.

Some people find the separation between what they may have been encouraged to conclude, and the reality, to be off-putting enough to not be happy here. I think encouraging unhappy people to find happiness elsewhere is an appropriate suggestion.
