There is (almost) always a gate. If you don't see it, stop and look harder.
Are people really thinking, "Let's see there are gates at nearly every entrance and exit and they are always attached to those white boxes on the side of the road. I am at the entrance and I see the white box but I don't see a gate. This must be the exception! I'll just barrel on through!"
A different color scheme might help with visibility but it won't help with careless or clueless drivers. Plus, on other threads it has been asserted that the current red/white coloring is a State or local requirement (I don't know if that's true).
