You are rather missing the point of your own argument.

The reason that you have never seen the traffic backed up is BECAUSE the attendant has left the gate open until the rush of traffic clears.

No attendant = more time for each car to clear = backed up traffic.

Once the traffic flow is back to normal, the attendant operates that gate for each vehicle.
