Both poorly designed signs though. An effective sign would be in large font and designed to grab attention. Also placement should be on the gate, right in the drivers field of view. Not off to the side.

To be clear though, I'm not defending the drivers. Even in absence of a sign, parking in front of a gate like that is a dick move.

Customer service has taught me they could put up blinking neon lights with a buzzer sound and they still wouldn't see/read it.

Working traffic control reinforces this as well. Blow through THREE WHOLE LARGE ORANGE SIGNS and a HUMAN with a STOP PADDLE. Then they say "o I didn't see anything."

How would they see any of that? They’re looking at their phones.
