Default Tips for driving in The Villages

After 6 months here, I know this is like nowhere else for driving, due to golf cart traffic, construction, we are old, and odd infrastructure.
This thread is an opportunity to post your very best POSITIVE ideas for promoting safe, efficient traffic.

Suggest you give only one idea per post to give everyone a chance.

SUGGESTION: RESIDENTS SHOULD USE THE VISITOR GATE
My suggestion is that residents use the visitor gate when it would be more efficient to do so. Often I find a line at the resident gate and no one at the visitor gate. By using the visitor gate, which responds to the electronic card just the same, both gates can be operating, thus speeding the flow of traffic.
And I favor using some visitor gates when it's just me going through because they are easier and quicker to use (the eye is further from the gate so I don't have to full stop and the passage is straight ahead rather than to the side.)
It's a jungle out there,
Kitty
