No speed bumps please.

[frog04]

Watch the golf carts they don't even stop right thru signs.

First, the gates are down due to possible power failure because of the upcoming weather. It has nothing to do with high winds, if it was they would not leave them laying on the ground next to the arm motors.

Second, while a reminder is great on herre, does anyone really think posting on here will fix anything? Would be nice if it was that easy. lol

When they fail or power outage they should be set to open. They should have battery backup

I’ve seen many vehicles go airborne over those type speed bumps, they don’t slow everyone

Not even at 60 mph.

Fix anything-------No
Warn people-------Yes

We all know there are people who drive carts and tend to ignore stop signs, relying on car traffic to stop. At least if they are fully aware the gates are down the MAY modify their driving behavior

Expect some folks to be dim witted and slow to respond/react. It will never change in our life time so just accept the fact ****e will happen. There's nothing you can do and warning people won't work either because the folks that will cause the accidents either won't read this forum, won't remember or don't care.

Get used to it...it's called reality.

Well he warned me, and I appreciate it. (Even though I don't have a cart, he-he.) It served as a warning to be on the lookout at the gates for various kinds of idiot driving.

So, please, pretty please be extremely careful at all gate crossings. And to the CDDs, community watch, or whoever is responsible----get some stop signs out there!!!!!!

The reason for not putting up Stop Barricades is due to the possibility of high winds along with the tropical Storm Elsa.

Stop signs are projectiles.

Scary for sure! The gates have been removed in prep for the hurricane/storms brewing. Signs are a hazard for the next couple of days.

So, does anyone read previous posts in a thread anymore? Or is this the Villages chapter of the National Redundancy Society?????

Nah! You are probably correct! Disregard GE'S post and just offer condolences and thoughts and prayers after someone gets hurt.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I like the OP'S reasoning better in this case.

Probably no stop signs because of the concern of high winds.

Very funny

OP thank you for your post and alerting others. I noticed a car barreling through the Hillsborough gate at a high rate of speed. Luckily there was no cart in their path due to habit of a gate being there. Others who want to hate on your post are sadly unhappy with their lives.
