In most cases, there's a building to help you notice.

Then a fairly large "box" that houses the controls and mechanism. Hard to miss.

Then a big white stick with stripes on it.

Anyone who doesn't notice a gate, shouldn't be driving a vehicle ... or be out in public, without a guide dog or white cane.
