You made that suggestion on the other thread on gate visibility ( I should say the most recent other thread) and what I think I learned is that the State of Florida has adopted the Federal rules, which are inflexible in language and dictate the red and white striping we have now.
If I understood some of the further reading correctly, there is an avenue to request permission to "experiment" with other approaches, (I would assume pursuant to approval). But really, my take on it is that since they are county roads, the county would have to foot the bill, and why would they want to?
Furthermore, I think what you and others have stated is probably accurate, that while they could be made more visible with Optic Green or something else, it probably isn't lack of visibility that causes the gates to be hit.
