I don't hate to say it.
Thing is - if you're coming to a gate, there is probably a gate house. Gate houses are hard to miss, even if your eyesight is bad. Anyone driving up to a gate house should be thinking "hm - a big structure at the entrance to this neighborhood. I should probably stop, or at least slow down significantly." And then they slow down significantly, which is when they discover - "well how about that, there's a gate here. I guess I'll stop."
This isn't brain surgery or rocket science. If you can see well enough to not drive off the side of the road, then you can see well enough to notice some kind of "thing" at a neighborhood entrance that you should pay attention to.
