I agree. The red stripes on the gates are often difficult to see.
|
As I drive in some neighborhoods, I find the gate blends with the surroundings especially when leaving. Something needs to be done but don't ask a Florida traffic engineer, we all see how well they know what they are doing.

Simple Solution to Crashing the Gates. How about paying attention to your DRIVING, GO SLOW when approaching the gates, GET OFF THE CELL PHONE when approaching the gate. If your Cell phone rings ignore it. I think they should raise the fine of crashing a gate to $500.00. Maybe that will get people to slow down and pay attention to their driving!!!!!

Totally agree! We just closed on our house in January and spent some time exploring and realized we were having trouble seeing the gate arms, even knowing they were there. My husband thought a triangle would be an improvement as well. Somehow they’re too skinny or not bright enough and just blend in to the background. And we weren’t trying to squeeze in as they were coming down!

I just don't understand the Crashing of the Gates?? Some people suggested Yellow instead of Red?? Some people said the Gates are hard to see at night?? This is simple. There is a gate house and the entrance alone should be enough for you to remember there is a Gate there. The Gate goes up and then you proceed. How about SLOWING DOWN and stop being in a RUSH to get where your going. STOP BLAMING THE GATES, ITS THE DRIVERS.

Why are the gates even there? So phoney

Entry gates should go
The entry gates should be replaced by speed bumps. The gates are expensive to maintain and totally unnecessary!!
|
Forget speed bumps. You need the law enforcement that has gone lax. No accountability anymore
|
I’d like to see some kind of flag hanging across the arm.

Not completely accurate.
The most visible color, especially at night is green. It’s a major reasons firearm lights are green. They use red also because the green wavelength requires more power than red. Red is the most recognizable color, meaning the eye distinguishes it from background colors more easily. And red has been psychological taught to us to mean stop. White reflects the most light, more than a mirror. This is a big reason safety equipment (signs, lights) are red & white. The reflective material used also increases red and white much more than yellow. Yellow, although is a highly visible color was chosen for street lines because of its visibility but more so because of its already psychological idea to mean safety. Traffic signals existed before markings and motorist already associated yellow with caution. Yellow and white are also the most contrasting colors to black pavement, hence why its yellow over red. So it’s not only the colors but what other colors that it needs to contrast with. |
