Just as you would regardless of traffic conditions.
As I was exiting through the Mallory gate this morning, I purposely checked to see how long it takes for the gate to come down. I was about two car lengths away from the gate. I counted 15 seconds (no one behind me) and the gate stayed up! Now do you understand why caravanning through that gate is done all the time? I don't think that gate will come down ever as long as there is a car approaching it. I don't think anyone will wait longer than 15 seconds for the gate to come down. That is just silly.
