Of course, the attendant controls the non-resident gate. Cars were "pouring through" only because he allowed that to happen.

Plus, and more importantly, the attendant can open the resident gate from where he stands, there is no reason for him to go and press the red button. I was pleasantly surprised a couple of times, during heavy rain, when the gate arm raised while I was approaching the card reader.
