The Calmes Neck Community may be accessed via a security gate at the entrance to the community. The following instructions describe how the gate can be opened, when visiting a resident of Calmes Neck.

| Figure 1. - Pressing "CALL" on the Gate Pedestal |
A visitor should begin by pulling their vehicle up to the Gate Pedestal, just outside of the gate. Each property owner's name appears on a screen at the gate pedestal. Property owners that are couples without the same last name are both listed individually. Someone visiting Calmes Neck can scroll through the list of names on the screen using the "A" and "Z" buttons and find a property owner's name. The visitor should then press the "CALL" button on the pedestal. The gate will dial the property owner's telephone number. If the owner answers the phone when the gate calls, the owner will be able to converse with the visitor at the gate over the phone. The owner may then press keys on his telephone keypad if he so desires, to open the gate. Note that once the owner presses keys to open the gate, the phone call with the visitor at the gate will immediately be disconnected. Once the gate has opened, the visitor has several seconds to traverse through it, after which the gate will automatically close.
An "exit probe" is buried on the right hand side of the road as you are going downhill, approximately 100 feet inside of the gate. When a vehicle drives by the probe, the gate will automatically open. If an unusually small vehicle passes the probe or if the vehicle is driven on the extreme left hand side of the road, the probe may not see the vehicle. In this case, back up and try again, this time driving closer to the right hand side of the road. The probe is very sensitive, so this should not be a common problem.
