At the Springdale resident-only gate there is a sign in front of the gate that says if you are not a resident use the Briar Meadow South gate - without an arrow pointing you north to the gate.

And I just looked at the map and the entry gates at the circles are not labeled anyway.

My instructions always say go around xxx half circles (go straight) and then go xxx quarters around the next circle and go into the gate that says Springdale on the wall.

It can get confusing.

Z, you KNOW I always agree with you. NOW he knows he can press the button and get in anywhere just like all the really bad people. The poor guy almost soiled his britches. That time is past. It is good advice for him and all people who have lived here less than a year to keep a five dollar map (available at Publix and Mercantile and Sales Center...no they DON'T give them to you free) hanging in a large plastic bag around their necks. .

Especially at night. So people can spot new people and HELP them.
