I strongly disagree. I rely on the gates so as to allow my wife and I to cross safely in our golf cart. |

It's a fact of life that streets everywhere, were meant for cars and trucks.
The onus is on the golf carts. Let them beware.

This is The Villages, Florida. Carts, bicycles and pedestrians are priority. |

This is what makes The Villages so special and a great place to retire. I think you either get it or you don't. |

I'm thankful for the nearby gate to slow traffic so I can safely exit our neighborhood by car.

Every EMT and police vehicle should have a gate card. Such a simple thing ,why has it not been done

Community Watch is stationed at a lot of the gates. I would think if an emergency vehicle was coming through they would just open the gate for them.

There are many communities that do not have golf carts on the streets. Perhaps a better choice for some. |

If you don't think the gates are used as a major sales tool to make potential buyers think TV is the greatest thing since Dixie Cups, you are sadly mistaken. The same can be said for why they try to talk you into buying new before buying a resale. Many great things have been done here, however a monster may be lurking. It all comes down to the almighty dollar for them, no matter how you look at it.

However, many times I have gone through a resident's gate and the so-called guard is sitting there and doesn't even lift up his/her head to acknowledge you.

I'm the OP. We live in a village with only a Resident Gate. I was just curious if emergency personnel had to buzz in. I think a nice solution would get to equip emergency vehicles with swipe cards.

Aren't there buttons on the gates?

Why should he/she if you are going through a resident gate? So you complain that we have gates, yet you complain that the "guard" doesn't acknowledge when you drive through one of the gates?

Some Things to Expect of Our Guards
Quote:
The guards are not paid to simply open the visitors gate and to ignore or be unconscious regarding everything else! They are paid to get off their duff and greet everyone, regardless of whether they are visitors, residents or tradesmen. They are supposed to keep an eye out for anything abnormal in their immediate surroundings, and to notify the proper authorities if they see something out of the ordinary or think something is suspicious. It's apparent you live here and weren't aware of what these guards are supposed to do.
