How about the whole gate being optic YELLOW with maybe some type of reflectors on them?
......I remember reading that there is some STUPID reason for them to be white and red. But, with all the problems with those colors isn't it time for CHANGE ?
I’m sorry, but if you can’t see a gate arm at eye level that you KNOW is there, how are you going to see a 3 year old grandchild that darts into the street? Time to turn in your license
