Can someone explain why you should go through the resident gate instead of the visitors gate if you live in the villages. The visitors side automatically raises up when you pull up to the gate.When you go to the resident side you have to roll the window down and scan your ID card.

Use either gate. Solved.

some visitors may not have a gate key, & some of the work vehicles may be too large to pass, @ least it's that way in ours. (we use the fenney way exit to warm springs from mc clure.) the resident lane is more adjusted to cars, while the visitor lane can allow safe passage for : moving trucks, landscape trailers & other large service vehicles.

Perhaps this is what the poster was referring to, as I am not aware of any gates which automatically open. I could be wrong. Last edited by photo1902; 01-09-2021 at 07:58 AM. |

Gates have various ways of behaving. One of those ways is construction mode, when there is anticipated to have lots of truck traffic, and the gate opens automatically. I would guess that is the case for this particular gate. Once construction finishes up, I would anticipate it going to normal mode, where visitors would need to press a button to get the gate to open.

OP - As a resident, you can use either gate. Do not cross over from the inner lane of a round-a-bout to avoid using the visitors' gate. Many people do this, but it is not good driving. |

When I'm coming home from outside my neighborhood, I have to take a left after passing the gate. So I stay in the visitor's lane, which is the left lane. If I need to pick up my mail first, I'll go through the residents' gate, which is the right gate. The postal station is down on the right.

It’s less wear on window motors to use visitor gates when someone is there to open it. Window stickers would be a nice option.

You are not correct. The visitors gate needs a card or push the red button.
