Gate visibility varies from one gate to the next and with time of day and weather conditions. Often times they are difficult to see, their dull dirty, faded colors blending with background like a person in camouflage. How often I see someone drive past the mechanism, straight to the gate and stop abruptly, then sit there wondering what to do next or hoping someone else will open the gate for them. I try to make sure they have room to back up.
