Now how can any car or cart driver not see this gate? I know there are cameras mounted but not sure how effective they are. I only hope the idiots that are running through the gates are getting caught and are getting fined for the repairs.

Seriously? It's almost unbelievable. Here are some suggestions:
1) Paint the whole gate and mechanics with glow in the dark neon paint
2) Steal some lights from Yankee stadium and illuminate the area, like with 20 million volts
3) speed bumps----12 inches high and every 2 feet (we could call them moguls)
4) Pay a consultant $6500 to see if side striping the gate arm would help
5) replace the gate arm with a high powered laser---will eliminate recidivism
among gate crashers
6) Man the gate with security guards armed with RPGs
7) Put up a "No U turn" sign---then these people will probably make one
8) Wrap the gate arm with razor wire
9) 24 hour coverage by armed drones
10) a gate arm that emits a low level EMP when in the down position, kills all carts within 6 feet
