Despite that, your point is EXTREMELY valid. Without gates, every crossing would be as dangerous as Bonita. Just watch what happens when a gate is broken and they put up a stop sign, especially when both entrance gates are broken. Cars race to beat each other to the merge behind the gate, carts can't see oncoming cars because gatehouse blocks the view. I wonder how many accidents occur due to this scenario.
