Perhaps a good remedy would be to place a heavy, solid gate (maybe a telephone pole) across the road so that when someone does hit it, it will do good damage to their windshield. That way, they will remember that the gate IS there the next time they go through.
Or better yet, a retractable tire puncture strip---it comes up when the gate goes down and vice versa
