I do NOT agree with un-manned gates at the MAJOR intersections.
Your example of the Spanish Springs gate at Morse and Rt 466 is the #1 example of keeping a human (male or female) operator in the loop.
The golf cart crossing just North of the gate is a disaster. The southbound cart crossover is an accident just waiting to happen. And carts going North, but quickly turning left into Bazarra Ct is also dangerous.
The gate attendants there do need to look BACKWARDS (to the North) to check for cart backlog before letting cars through.
Better solution is to move the cart crossover much further North. There is space on the East side of Morse...
Now, unmanned gates for other specific villages is fine as long as there isn't a lot of car/truck traffic.
