I know you are just being silly now. The gates primary purpose are to serve as an entrance and egress into TV. Somewhat unique is the fact that if you are on Morris between El Camino Real and 466 you do not go through a gate to enter or exit any of the neighborhoods along that stretch of the road. In fact, you can turn on several roads like Rio Grande and do not pass through a gate until you technically exit TV. If the main purpose of gates is to slow traffic where golf carts share the road, then the dozens and dozens of locations where roads intersect Morris and Rio Grande that are lacking such protections. As for Pinellas and Hillsborough, think. There are no entry gates on Morris or Buena Vista south of 466 so all traffic wanting access to residences in TV must enter and exit a gate somewhere.
