Gates may in many cases serve a secondary purpose and that is to slow traffic for golf cart safety. However, in most cases the primary function of the gates is automobile access. I know of nowhere in TV where it is possible to access a residential area without passing through a gate first. There could be exceptions around areas still under construction. In most places, especially off Morse and Buena Vista, each intersecting road has a gate. There are exceptions like El Camino Real and Buena Vista and Stillwater Trail but no residences are accessed that way. The biggest exception are the areas serviced between El Camino Real/Morse and Morse/466 including the gates at Spanish Springs, El Cortez, Chula Vista and the two off El Camino Real (servicing Santiago and Santo Domingo). The entire region between these gates is "sterile" meaning no other gates exist to enter individual neighborhoods like elsewhere in TV. Enter one of these gates and you won't see another until you technically leave TV (controlled access area) onto 466, Avenida Central, or El Camino Real. And that is why only this section of Morse is gated and nowhere else. It has nothing to do with golf carts.
