When a car stops at the gate to wave their card the gate arm can't be more than 8 feet in front of the car's windshield. If a driver can't see a gate bar at 8 feet they have absolutely no business operating a motor vehcile.
I agree with a previous poster that contractor vehicles do hit the gates frequently. I have also been tailgated through the gate a couple times but now I creep through the gate so the car following can't make it through without being hit by the bar.
