I have lived in that area for 16 years and on several occasions have seen the line backed up to 466, even with the gate permanently open and the attendant waving everyone through - some people insist on slowing down regardless. I can only imagine how bad it would have been with no attendant and the gate going up and down for each vehicle.

However, as others have stated, that gate is exceptional and each gate really needs to be considered separately, rather than imposing a "one size fits all" solution on them all.
