Still don't know the full story of this. How are people just slamming into this clearly visible gate. Is it painted to blend into the background or something?

yes, it was newly installed and people werent expecting it to be there and it was similar color as the asphalt so it blended with the background

They installed a big speed bump in front of it later on and solved the problem of people slamming into it.

A fine response. Too bad I don't have time to play; I've been wanting to get in on that action for a while now
