It's about 10 feet in front of your face. If you can't see a gate arm at 10 feet, how are you going to see a bicyclist, a golf cart or pedestrian walking along the road? If you can't see a gate arm 10 feet in front of you while stopped, you are selfishly endangering a lot of people. Get rid of the car and get a golf cart.

Exactly!!!!! And don't forget my favorite: When a gate arm is down and the BIG, RED, OCTAGONAL stop sign is there, motorists actually speed up to run right through it. This is especially fun when that lane's view is blocked by the gate house when you are trying to cross.
