It is difficult to see in the shade, but once you know it's there you should expect it.
Not only are they sometimes hard to see, but often when you approach them you are traveling at the posted speed limit and the gate arms are up but suddenly come down at the point where you have to nearly stop quickly. The sensor for those gate arms are not far enough upstream to account for the speed limit there. I have had a few close calls. So now, when I approach those two gate arms, I am travelling much slower than the speed limit just in case they are up and expect them to come down before I can trip the sensor.
