I do think the reference posted referred to new people to the area maybe not reading, and/or accepting and/or adhering to the signs and/or honoring what is posted. They then don't see or bum rush (or not) the gates.
Gates falling down shouldn't happen for sure!
I have a great inexpensive Garmin dashcam. I love it. It would catch a falling/broken gate like it caught a man and his wife that almost caused me to t-bone them as I passed toward a gate coming out of the roundabout. He did not even look left. His wife did. I can still see the look of terror on her face and so can my camera!
I have a friend who owns a driving school outside of the Bubble but does most of their business in the Bubble and for good reason.

We started renting in Caroline in 2007, (LSL was newer, SS very established) went to Mallory in 2008. We bought in Pennacamp, 2010, Fernandina, 2012 Duvall 2014, and built in Richmond 2023.
I travel while pretty much everyone else is sleeping, newspaper guys, community watch, and I wave to the Wildwood leo sitting at 44 and Buena Vista.
Sometimes gates almost look like they’ve had too much to drink when they start wobbling back-and-forth then swing sideways and fall off. My guess would be that one of the bolts has fractured and the other one just barely holding on. Since January have watched 4 gates fall all by themselves. Usually I am the second car waiting. As I said the gates weigh more than you would expect them too.
