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.

So residents are put in the position of merging into the visitor lane which is the straight lane. In my view the visitor lane has the best lane for staying safe and the advantage of right-of-way I am not mistaken.
