I never open my window to use my gate pass. I just pull up closer to the reader and slightly wave my pass close to the window. Works just fine.

:ohdear: There are gates that are "UNMANNED" :oops:

All of the gates on Canal are unmanned.

Instead of the arms and gates install 4 way stop signs and make them visible for both cars & carts

Big discussion on a different post about only slowing down for stop signs. Won't work

Why not use the process of exiting...when a car pulls up, the gate goes up. The only change I would recommend to accommodate the golf carts is that the gate would do a full cycle....all the way up, all the way down rather than just staying up when another car is present. This would allow carts to pass and not require driver interaction.

Everyday this week we had cars come through on our bumper to avoid the gate

Technologically this place is still in the 90's, the 1890's.

In my opinion the only reason there are gates is to give the impression that this is a gated community. I seriously doubt that golf cart safety was ever considered. The Villages is selling the image of a special lifestyle, therefore the gates are a part of the image.

It is very easy to suggest a different/better method of card/car reading.
What we have is probably the lowest cost method (not intended as a negative comment).

All the other auto card readers would require a change out of all the equipment at every entry point in TV....plus control center(S).

A significant expenditure to change to a "more convenient" method.

No system will satisfy the users who are for some reason always in a hurry.

Are we ready to have our amenity fees increased to pursue/purchase these new systems?

I for one am not. The current method works just fine.....most of the time.

What is needed in TV is a significant change in enforcement. The reason there are so many "moving violations" in TV.... there is no fear of enforcement.

More ticketing, escalating fines, more enforcement presence......just like the little towns everybody is familiar with....that have 25 mpg speed limits and notorious for enforcement.....everybody slows down to 25....funny how THAT WORKS!!!!

Tap your brake pedal and then stop, wait 30 seconds. They should get the message.

Do you have a golf cart?
