I have long wondered why the gate arms are not painted with an obnoxious neon color. I have perfect vision and I am surprised how many times I have had to do a double take when approaching from bright sun into a shadowed gate area (ie, Morse approaching 466) where the gate arms are frequently left up so your assumption is its not there. Clearly a bad assumption, but I'm not surprised people hit them with regularity. Seems a little paint or even a flashing LED could go a long way.
