I don't think that's the case since bike riders blow around the gate at full speed, ignoring the very purpose of the gate and stop sign. It's just a matter of time before they get hit by a crossing golf cart whose view is blocked by the gatehouse and has to rely on the closed gate to know it is safe to proceed.
