There likely is a little time. There aren’t “disks” per say these days. It’s all on a hard drive.

I am exiting and entering gates between 1-2a through 4a. Not everyone sleeps while it’s dark:mornincoffee:
I wave to the Wildwood patrol car on 44 and BV most mornings.

Exiting no button needed

Who's we? Most of time auto drivers are at fault and they pay for repairs. See past articles on this subject.

Gate Arms
 
Contact Community Watch. Tell them the date, time, and gate, and they can find it in the system.

I saw this in yesterday’s comments, so did you get it taken care of yet?

I went thru the gate and some clown made a u-turn in front of me and I had to stop and I saw the gate coming down. I moved a little bit forward and the gate reversed. The guy decided not to come into the village and made the u-turn right in front of me, didn't wait until I got thru, which I had the right of way. I can see where people start going thru the gate and then have to stop for a biker or golf cart after the gate and have the gate come down on top of the car or trailer. golf carts do not have the right of way

Yep people need to stop waving golf carts and bicyclist through at the gate. They get use to it and think it’s the norm.

Nothing good happens after 9:00.

True, but irrelevant in a no fault state like Michigan or Florida.

Not irrelevant in the case of bodily injury or traffic infractions.

When I’m in a golf cart, I do not make eye contact with any car driver as I wait for the traffic to clear. I deliberately look right. Eventually the car driver “gets it” and proceeds through the gate. Car drivers have the right of way. Cart drivers must wait for the traffic to clear.
