It’s time to get serious with a common sense gate solution: Replace the exiting ID card reader and red button with an electric eye the same as the exit control. Simply drive up and activate the gate arm to raise.

It’s time for the Developer to swallow the pill that we do not have a “gated community.” This charade only lasts until you have to use the red button the first time anyway. We can then do away with the entire gate ID system unless it gets repurposed into swimming pool or other control. But we already have personal ID cards for that…
