Define "such a big hurry." I've sat at an open exit gate for about 15 seconds waiting for it to come back down since I "knew" it was supposed to close and open between each car. There was no tailgating, the car in front was well around the circle and the gate was still up. The guy behind me finally let me know he was tired of waiting and he and I and at least one more car exited without the gate closing.
The best I can figure is the exit gate is triggered by a sensor in the road or by motion detection. It will usually (there are always exceptions) see a second vehicle and will not go back down until all vehicles have cleared. It seems the exit gates are designed to allow or encourage "piggy backing."
