I believe traffic code deals with four-way stops where two roadways intersect. In the case of the the MMP crossings, one of those intersecting is not a roadway.

The MMPs are also not crosswalks, or at least the guidance we have been given (drivers should not stop and signal pedestrians to proceed) do not treat them as crosswalks.

Except for railroad crossings and movable bridges, gates are rarely installed on public roadways.

I wouldn't be surprised if traffic code did not cover this situation at all.
