chevron_rightWhat is Proper Security Gate Etiquette?
Resident Stickers
Residents are supplied with a sticker that is affixed to their windshield and transponders that are installed in cars and automatically open the gate. After hours, when the guards are gone, guests of residents can use the call box to gain access to the neighborhood. Each homeowner can obtain a unique code for gate access to use at their discretion for guests.
Callbox
In order to maintain flow of traffic, if a transponder or sticker is in possession of the driver, please use the right lane when entering the Ivanhoe Estates entrance and maintain posted speeds. If assistance is required or you need to use the callbox, please use the left lane.
