A much lower cost to everyone would be to make the entry gates open automatically, just like the exit gates. ZERO COST and same overall functionality.
Agree completely, was responding to the second post implying they are testing the long range RFID headlight stickers.

I've seen no evidence of the transponders but they recently upgraded the gate hardware - we'll see if anything materializes.

Seems unlikely they will enable automatic gate opening since that would disrupt the illusion of a gated community.
