I hope you are aware there are cameras all over the country that are called ALPR. Stands for automatic license plate reader. They capture the plate from moving vehicles of any speed, day and night. No need to slow down or stop. Having a gate for that purpose is not needed, and is not a justification to keep gates.

They are everywhere. Stand alone systems nationwide that law enforcement uses to find people. Toll collection systems. Parking lot surveillance. etc
