I suppose it doesn't matter then which side you use to enter, just thought as a resident and have a pass we should use this side, basically if that's the case why have a pass? But that's a story for another day. :-)
The problem with using the visitor entrance for unattended gates is that when there are visitors ahead of you, you have to wait for them to push the button (sometimes after a long period of confusion about what to do), the central gate operator to respond to the button push, say "welcome to the Villages" and open the gate. When no one is ahead of you, either gate works fine.
