While I think the idea of adding a light similar to a stop light is good, I find this comment to be a poor excuse for hitting a gate.
Most people here know that each village has a gate, AND you can certainly see the gatehouse regardless of the viewing conditions. This seems to be a reason given by folks that are inattentive, careless, or shouldn't be driving.
Also, a number of these hits are caused by impatient drivers trying to scoot through with another vehicle, because they don't have time to wait for the gate to descend and lift again for them. I've seen this behavior numerous times at numerous gates.
