Default Gate attendants

Manned gates / non manned gates. Can the villages remove the gate attendants I recently see the villages installing gate access buttons to the visitors gate that did not previously have them..are manned gates codified in deeds or documents
Or can the villages eliminate the maned gates. Thank you

All gates with or without attendants have access buttons.

The gates attendants are there to control the flow of cars and golf carts. They also have small maps to help your visiting relatives find your house. The gates have always had buttons. I hope this helps. Len & Mary The Retired Half of IPC

Why do some villages have attendants and many like ours in Bonita does not?

A Gate attendant is like having a lookout on the Titanic!

All gates have red buttons, regardless of attendant or not.

Stu, gate houses had to be a part of the original design by the developer...as time when by the gate houses seemed to become a thing of the past...IMO

I always believed those gates with push buttons and guards in guard houses are there
to get traffic to stop long enough to profile them through videos on entry.

the gates, curved roads and traffic circles are all part of the design to slow the traffic down

Didn’t they have lookouts? I think the caption and radio operator was off duty, so the boat wasn’t made aware iceberg warnings, and it was streaming along faster Than normal?

Traffic circles do not slow down traffic, stop lights do. Curves in roads are natural except on MMP.

The Mallory gate is unmanned and I like it that way.

There is usually a cart crossing on the other side of the gate. Maybe it is to slow down traffic enough to let a few carts cross the road?
