I think I and a few others did.
Let the gates open automatically upon entering as they do exiting.

It's cost effective -- probably everything is in place. No more repairs from gate crashers.
It's safe -- As safe as the red button or pushing on through. Real gates are not made out of extremely light weight material.
It regulates traffic the same way the exit gates do.
That possible solution was mentioned in the original post on this thread.
