Why not put flashing solar powered LEDs on the cross bars to increase visibility. This is used in many locations that have traffic control gates. Also put on the "no carts beyond" signs. Low initial cost and low maintenance.
The gates will still be hit and leds will break when hit by a car increasing and complicating putting the metal pole back on. Most places don't have the number of gates that TV has and the gates are getting hit mostly during the day. The problem is the driver's eyesight and they shouldn't be driving.
