Unless it is broken in the up position then it is going to come down.

Gates into a neighborhood come down between each and every vehicle. Yes, it is possible to tailgate someone and maybe make it through the gate but it will be coming down on you.

Gates out of a neighborhood are activated by a sensor (in the ground or a light beam, I don't know). If you are close enough behind the car in front of you then it will usually sense your vehicle and keep the gate up for you. If you are not close enough then the gate will come down. If you are unsure, watch the arm for two seconds and you will either see it move or not. Really very simple.
