The gates are a marketing tool for TV & also so John & Karen can brag to their friends back home that they live in a gated community (which it isn't). A speed bump would work better.

Now everyone who lives here knows that there is a gate arm when going out and another gate arm coming back. If your dementia is so far advanced that you forget that fact and you need flashing lights and more bright colors to remind you, then you should not be allowed to drive. Wearing "Beer Goggles" doesn't help.
