I think these procedures help u 2 live in more secure place, otherwise what is the diff bet a compund / normal buliding in the St. May b u accept a taxi drive in the compund alone and others See it as unsecure.

Any how i think u can find easy solution by comunication toll between your building and security gate (as land line) and u or any other living can call the gate informing about visitor / taxi / ...ect

Relax !! :)
