Snowbirds......I think not.
Because they stop working, in the past 2 weeks I have had 3 out going gates that would not open. At 3am it’s a PITA. Then again I have also watched them come down between cars very hard and just fall off. Maybe the pins that hold them on are not the quality as in years past.

Either way it’s dangerous for the carts to try to frogger across roads, because of the amount of cars that don’t stop, or even slow down, coming through down gates
