This will also stop residents going in visitor lane trying to beat the resident line.
It's very frustrating being third one in line and having commercial truck or a resident car come along in visitor lane and go ahead everyone.
The attendants are very polite and friendly but need make it a little safer at these entry gates.

After stopping at the gate, both lanes are merging. When merging, the lane that is straighter and on the left usually has the right-of-way. That would be the visitor gate.
I prefer going through the visitor gate for several reasons. It is faster even when no one is waiting in line, especially faster when residents are waiting in line, and much safer when exiting a traffic circle because it is the inside lane away from incoming traffic.
It would be a mistake for me to go through a gate assuming that I should be first, regardless of which gate I have entered. The status of my being a resident means nothing as to traffic law and visitors should expect equal status, which is their right.
