As a new resident I am curious as to why so many gates get damaged
As a new resident I am curious as to why so many gates get damaged? Especially the exit gate where no card is required. Are the drivers here that unaware?

Many drivers just are too old to see them, some are impatient, some think its fun to knock them down, one has been down now for 2 days.

Does anyone know the statistics on how many are replaced monthly and what is the cost for each replacement? This has to be a large expense out of our amenity fees.

It has always amazed me how often these gates take a hit
As to liability I can see where there would be a question of liability (who is at fault if the gate is in motion downward but when the motion is to go up and a vehicle damages it sure as heck the driver was going too fast or was distracted and didn't notice the gate at all. In the latter situation TV ought to make them pay. In the former situation you have some drivers that are wry of gates and panic when approaching the, Then we have the creeps that believe the gate is interfering with my driving and I am not going to stop for it. I'll bet we have our fair sure of this type |
