The Morse gate attendants almost always open it for you as you approach but the Sunset Pointe gate attendants almost never do (at least during the afternoon hours). Before I call to request a courtesy policy of raising the gates during a rain for each car after we first stop at the gate, does anyone know if there is any such policy in place?
I'm sorry for your inconvenience but I have another concern. My concern is when the gates are left up during rainstorms us folks that are in our golf carts are at risk.You see the primary reason for these gates is for golf carts & cars to coexist in this community with the decreased chance for an accident.I know cars have the advantage and carts should always yield but when the gates are left up especially in the rain visibility decreases & the probability of a tragic accident increases.
