It is really for the golf cart crossing at the road. Think of what would happen if no gates and cars coming through at 40 to 50 mph. Many places have very limited visibility for the golf carts, so seeing the gate being down does provide some level of assurance that you won’t be mowed down by a car. Of course if the car runs through the gate going fast not much you can do.
