The gates around here, while giving some a false sense of comfort and security, are actually just... 'horizontally hovering speed bumps.' :D

I have three cars and two golf carts, so the answer is yes you can. I just had to show my registrations to my cars.

Well, we replaced our two cards from 2013 and bought two new ones. Even though they said the cards were no different now, the new ones open the gates far easier.

Only two cards. Simple solution. One card in each car. Hit the button when in golf carts. Just as easy as card

We lost our two original gate cards, and paid for replacements. We were told that they will only replace them once. From reading the above posts, it sounds like we can purchase additional ones? How many can a residence have?

:what:

Improved Gate Passes
 

I was just in the gate pass
office to get new "improved" gate passes. The gal said that they are not improved...same gate passes. She said that was just a rumor going around. She exchanged mine anyhow. I hope there is not a rush on the gate pass office due to this rumor...they will have to hire more people😂

I don't know why anybody would need more than 2 cards or an extra one for another car. Just go through the visitors side, they can't keep you from entering, they're county roads. There's no need for an extra card. As far as a replacement for a lost card, I think there might be a fee for it & if there isn't a fee, then just tell them you lost it. I had a card that wouldn't let me enter or exit the little gate to go to WalMart at Paradise because for some reason I got my same card back from my first home & the little gate at Paradise wasn't there then. To put it simple we couldn't keep our first home gate passes because they said they had to issue new ones for our 2nd house, so I don't think you'll get a 3rd card. Hope this helps answer your question!

Very good point!

:ho:

I agree, however not all entrances to The Villages have a "Visitors Side", e.g., the entrance from CR 466 to Belvedere.

How can that be if we are not a gated community?

:oops: Be careful THE RED BUTTON DOESN'T BITE YOU! Also it's pretty easy to use.... not to many moving parts!:coolsmiley:

I don't use that particular entrance, but does it have a little red button on it?

If so, then I'm guessing it's the same as the 'visitor's' (or even the 'resident's') side of other entrances.

Southern Trace, off of 466, has only one gate and you can push the red button and the gate opens immediately. :shrug:

We're not a gated community.

Gated communities don't allow the gates to go up almost immediately...after pushing a button.

:agree:I would think anyone who doesn't know that either doesn't live here or is really uninformed.
