And with all due respect, if someone is unable to see the gate arms, they might want to reevaluate whether or not they should still be behind the wheel of a motor vehicle.

Speaking of frequently damaged gate arms is the one at Pinellas just off of 466A.
Most damage isn’t done by Villagers. The construction/contractor vehicles cause a majority of the gate problems. They had the gates removed earlier in the year, but there were too many close calls with speeding vehicles so they were put back in place. They were reinstalled in “construction mode” where no pass is required.
