You might wonder why the driver in front of you would stop. We old people do strange things.
The entrance gate comes down very quickly regardless if there is a car approaching. I NEVER caravan through the entrance gate. I always have my gate card scanned to get through the gate.

The exit gate is another story. The gate stays up as long as there is a car approaching. It is the exit gate I caravan through.....not the entrance gate. Even if the car in front of me stops, the exit gate remains up until no car is present.

It really is a simple concept.
