Not sure this one is generally applicable. When I'm out running are walking trails I always close gates unless there appears to be specific reason not to. Some people carelessly leave them open, some do so accidentally, some mistakenly think it should be left open because it was when they went through but there has been a steady flow if people leaving it for the next one and the first opened it.
- Godel_unicode 6y agoThat seems... questionable. Some leave them open to signify that it's ok to go through them. Some leave them open because they don't want to have to reopen them when they come back on the tractor. You can either choose to assume other people did what they did on purpose, or assume that you always know better. This is espousing the former.
- dspillett 6y agoThe amount of "please close gates" signs you see, and complaints about people not doing so, leads me to believe that generally speaking the land owners want the gates closed. If I see a gate propped open on the other hand, then yes this is almost certainly deliberate, quite likely by someone working the area rather than by some random, and I'd leave it as is after passing through.
