Our Gate Access System was selected and designed with the safety of residents, their families, and guests in mind. The gate access system swing gate operators have a reversing sensor to reverse the direction of travel if the gate strikes a vehicle. It also has a non-scissor action arm to prevent injury from the operator arm movement. Speed bumps and reflective pavement markers are in the gate area to act as traffic calming devices. There is a single lane in and a single lane out. Slower speeds (5 MPH) and caution are necessary in the gate area to prevent damage to the gate and also your vehicle.
Seven removable bollards are installed at the entrance to restrict entry to one single 12’ wide lane. Several fixed bollards are used to protect the swing gates and access control equipment.
With any gate system, common sense is a must. Here is a list of DO’s and DON’Ts:
DO
- Obey all traffic warning signs as you approach the gate area
- Be aware of traffic in the gate area and be prepared to stop
- Proceed slowly and cautiously through the gate area
- Be courteous to other drivers and be patient with guests
- Allow guests that are denied entry to pull to the side or back up to turn around. (Leave room behind their car so that they can back up to get out of the way.)
- Report immediately any gate access problems, vandalism, or suspicious activity to the Homeowners Association or the Gate Committee.
DON’T
- DON’T SPEED through the gate area or drive around the speed bump.
