This does not follow the normal procedure and it is confusing the residents. They think the gate opens as you approach and it does not, thus you have a collision with the gate. This type of programming difference would even cause a problem in a non-senior community.
The difference with this gate is that you entering and leaving Villages property when you go through it. Al of the other gates are within The Villages property.
