Claim 27:
28. A gate for controlling oncoming traffic on a roadway, the gate comprising:
an arm movable between an extended position in which the arm extends into a given portion of the roadway to inform the oncoming traffic that the given portion of the roadway is closed and a retracted position in which the arm does not extend into the given portion of the roadway, the arm having a longitudinal direction, a widthwise direction that is vertical in the extended position, and a thickness-wise direction that is normal to the longitudinal direction of the arm and the widthwise direction of the arm, the arm comprising a beam extending along the longitudinal direction of the arm and a visible arrangement extending below the beam, the visible arrangement comprising a plurality of visible members that extend obliquely to the beam, respective ones of the visible members intersecting one another, a dimension of the visible arrangement in the widthwise direction of the arm being at least plural times greater than a dimension of the beam in the widthwise direction of the arm and a dimension of each of the visible members in the thickness-wise direction of the arm being less than a dimension of the beam in the thickness-wise direction of the arm; and
a control system comprising an actuator and configured to support the arm and move the arm horizontally between the extended position and the retracted position.
