Default Almost took down a gate arm. .

So that's how they get hit!

So what happened is that the gate arm was in the up position with no cars in sight.
As soon as I hit the first sensor, the gate arm starting coming down. I stopped with about 6 inches to spare.

So then I started to observe that the gate arms can get out of synch with the sensors and traffic. Several days later, i saw the gate arm up with no traffic in sight. So again, as soon as I hit the first sensor, the gate started coming down. .

anyone else find that this is true? or just two random events with a wrong intuitive answer.
