You are right. Sometimes the arm blends in with the backround

Wait...what are we talking about here? The gates to get in or the gates to get out? Because I thought you had to go one at a time coming in with the card and all of that. But I've been driving out along with the car in front of me for the last year without ever hitting the gate....I thought that was sorta OK?

Totally unnecessary is right. How anyone can get by with putting up "gates" and having "guards" called ambassadors on PUBLIC roads I have never figured out ! ? Can any neighborhood in any city in Florida decide to look "private", and just slap up gates, arms, man the "guard houses" and make the public stop to enter their neighborhood ? What would happen if people in Ocala, or Leesburg, just decided to "act" exclusive and slap up some gates... back up traffic a half mile or more only letting ONE car at a time down their street ? Expense for what, the sake of ego of those among us who enjoy the illusion that this is some kind of exclusive enclave ? I don't know, but sure would be nice to turn by the high school and just go over a speed bump or two and drive right to your home without a one, by one, by one line clear to the 4 lane highway of 466. Insanity for sure, what we need is the state saying people can't just slap up gates onto public streets and roads ! Oh, and how many people have the pleasure of (formerly) NOT having to roll their automatic windows up and down all day long, wonder how many expensive repairs per year that costs our residents ! ?

Gates
I think painting the gates a different color would help a lot. They are hard to see. Could it be the "developer" likes it when people hit them so they can fine them $250 a pop?

Doesnt the district get the money and use it to repair the arm?

Make the gate arms out of structural steel. Will take a couple of weeks for the word to get out that running into them will result in a significant repair bill. After that, folks will start to pay attention.

The best I can figure is the exit gate is triggered by a sensor in the road or by motion detection. It will usually (there are always exceptions) see a second vehicle and will not go back down until all vehicles have cleared. It seems the exit gates are designed to allow or encourage "piggy backing."
