Amen. It's a safety issue to slow traffic to eliminate crashes and greatly reduce damage and injuries. I don't believe the primary reason is to reduce crime or limit access to non-residents.
We have found *any* key fob works...the round 1/2" disk I have on my key ring to access doors at work and the one on my wife's key chain for our vacation home--both work on all the gates we have tried here in the Villages. We no longer use our TV cards--just the fob in our pocket.
IDK-maybe I'm unlocking the doors at work every time I swipe my key ring at the gate reader on Marsh Bend Trail...
