I just love when gate arms are off and put the stop at the door guard shack (which few stop anyway) where you can’t see nothing from left. The temporary stop signs IMO needs to be after the guard shack, that why uiu can see any thing crossing form left. IMO there also should be painted white stop line at gate so when gate down and no stop sign some might think about stopping and looking.
