Mr, Cardoza is in error. Just ask Ken. My wife and I have witnessed two occasions of vehicles intentionally waiting in the turn-around area for a legitimate vehicle to to enter and then race to attempt to "tail-gate" in. One of them got his "comuppance" when the bar smashed the winshieId of his brand new truck. I have personally stopped two trucks who were using GPS to locate Countryside (which directs them to our North gate). One of them complied and went to the South gate. The other told me what I could do and proceeded to smash through the gate. I reported it.

For those of us who live here and go through the gates regularly, are sober, and are familiar with how it works, there is no excuse for breaking the bar. We might forgive the occasional renter, but there are far too many willful assaults on the gates. That is why the material in the bar has been changed.
