    railroad crossings are the one place gates are clearly good, yes.

    i think the important distinction is that railroad gates are only closed when it’s 100% unsafe to cross, and when they’re open it’s 99% safe to cross, so they never feel needlessly annoying.

      Well for pedestrians and cyclists we get the same type as in the original photo unfortunately, so they’re closed all the time. I didn’t think it it but of course proper gates would be a solution.
