Entering is a whole different ball game.
Agreed! My opinion on gates? Take it for what’s it worth? NOthing

Most Gates will stay in the up position as also as something still in the beams. Street leading to stop lights good example. Two or three cars would only get through the stop light if I’d every car stopped and let the gate come down and back up. Gate leading out of residential street Wider bean pattern that gates leading into neighborhoods where the gate is programmed to let one car pass at time. This is where tailgaters get in trouble when they don’t scan card or push the button.

The only problem while exiting is lagging too far behind where the gate beam can’t pick up you’re car and gate starts downward travel. Not really tailgating it’s the lagging behind and the gunning the gas to beat the gate or just not paying attention to gate when passing through.
