Villages entry check points
What is the purpose of having manned check points when anyone can go and come as they please?

They contribute to the illusion of security. Also, the gate people can sometimes provide directions and other assistance, and they wave to you. Very friendly.

maybe we can do like the NFL and just get cardboard cutouts of gate guards.
"illusion of security" is the exact correct term. |

Some say Sales gimmick, illusion of security (do have camera 🎥 on them for after the crime fact, like knocking down the gates) with some traffic control at busy hours at certain entry points. I surprised they all haven’t got the 100 grand toilets Recently installed at one of the gates which didn’t have one for 40 years.

At the Morse gate @ 466 they are essential to keep northbound cars from colliding with each other and with golf carts crossing Morse just behind the gate. It is a demanding job.

Two lanes merging to one. Gate keeper holds car next to them, to give small head start space for car at card gate.
Other than that gate keeper does not give the allusion of security. |

It's a combination of things.
1. traffic control, especially with gates that merge with golf cart traffic 2. customer service - notice the visitor gate is closest to the gatehouse. If a visitor needs directions, the gate attendant is trained to assist them in getting where they're trying to go. 3. a deterrent to trespassers. It's not a preventative. But it does remind people that someone is always watching. If that can scare off even one house-burglar, then they've proven their value. |

The gate attendants I have interacted with have the most miserable people.

Most times the person manning the gate is there to wave "hello". There are those times though when the person manning the gate will answer questions for folks and give directions.
