Is there some reason why these UHF cards would be difficult or costly to implement? Please be specific as to how a UHF card can be made that will work with the current gates.
Totally opposed to long range cards if it enables the gates to be up longer & allows vehicles to go through at higher speeds. Only emergency vehicles should have that ability while sounding sirens. Otherwise it is dangerous to carts, pedestrians & bicycles.

When the gates are broken & removed for any reason, people tend to speed through. Not safe. Plus I cannot see how the cameras can capture those vehicles plates.
