As a new Villager in Pinellas I failed to realize that when the resident gate goes up there is a good chance someone is coming through the visitor gate. Got cut off by an SUV but fortunately stopped before we collided.

I now remember to look to the left before proceeding through the resident gates and have warned my wife to do the same.

I don't believe that the resident gates should have preference or priority, but the visitors should have some responsibility to look to the right to see if anyone is coming through the resident gate too. I have never seen that happen.
