I would give myself a bit more room. I want to see the gate at least start to come down, change it's mind, then go back up. Otherwise we're just looking for trouble.

Some exit gates seem to work this way and others don't. What's worse is some change their minds. The exit from Hillsborough to Buena Vista is usually accommodating - it will stay up as long as cars are exiting. The exit from Hillsborough to Morse used to be this way but sometime in the last year it became more demanding and will now often come down between cars even if they are close.
I don't need to see the gate change its mind, but I give it a respectable second or two to decide what it wants to do before I move under it.
