Well as far as I know if you knock a gate down you pay for it. The cameras take your picture and they get in touch with you and I think it cost somewhere just under $200? The gate thing it’s nothing compared to what goes on in the roundabouts. Was on my bike yesterday and saw someone from the outside lane, which is an exit, lane run right into the side of a car that was on the inside and going straight. The arrows on the signs coming into the roundabouts clearly show how they are to be used. It’s not rocket science but you would think it was?
