No thanks. While it is obvious that Optic Green would be an improvement on the current red and white reflective material, the gates are, as far as I can surmise, in compliance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

While I may be willing to waste some of my time engaging in a conversation about the shortcomings of the current situation, and I am willing to express my disagreement with the attitude of "if you have trouble seeing the gates you should stop driving", I am definitely not willing to spend a lot of time trying to convince the bureaucracy to change something that they should already know they've screwed up, but will be unwilling to admit.

On my list of battles I'd be willing to pick, this one would be pretty far down the page.
