This is the gate that they recently made some changes to. Most notably, removal of two speed bumps. Other changes improved visibility. And, the programing of the gate was changed to attempt to better control car traffic exiting though the gate and into the intersection. Not sure what it does now, but in the past it could start to close and then open up again without going all the way down (as do other exit gates. This is not a problem where the carts cross on the inside (village side), but it certainly can be where carts cross on the outside (round-a-bout side).
