You see I boast that Mother Superior taught me the lesson of humility:D OK I am just happy because I had a few par's this morning. the other 7 holes didn't count.

Rubicon- mother superior tried to teach me humility also. She was using a method called hit the hand with a half inch square yard stick. When she swung down I moved my hand and that was the end of that yard stick. I started my reformation then by protesting.

So I R now an Italian Protestant.

Put a solid metal heavy duty bar inside the gate arm. After a few collisions that do damage to the people who break the gates and it costs them a couple dollars maybe they will wise up. Pain in the wallet is the best way to cure most problems. $$$$$$$

Sinking bridges
Replanting trees
Stripping the MMPs
Building indoor pools
And last but not least, pay for the repairs of the gates after people crash into them....

As Bogie aptly pointed out this topic is as common as the ones on dog poop.

The gates and their attendant serve the community well. The public roads and the virtual size of this community make it impractical to have a bona fide gated community. However the gates still help control traffic and the elaborate camera system assists an added security measure.

i often utilize the Morse gate and it would just be maddening without the gates.

In Minneapolis they use metered lanes and they serve well in merging traffic onto the interstate system;otherwise there would be backups from those drivers that believe they are always entitled to go first.
