I see you joined TOTV in 2023.
I’ve lived here 16 years. Yes, there are doofuses who drive through the gates and break off the arms. They are always repaired in 2 days. The gate cameras record the whole thing , and bill the driver $250.
I’m not sure where you are located where the arms that break are never fixed.
I live near a manned gate, and the worker is extremely busy managing two lanes of incoming traffic, with golf carts and bikers crossing immediately once the cars are through the gate.
They do a great job.
Those same doofuses who try to run the gate and break off the arms would be running down golf cart drivers.
The card system calms traffic and records every vehicle coming and going. No complaints from me.
