Thank you for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed my submission and its presentation!
At the moment, you can pass through all gates no matter what speed you are travelling at. However, you get a higher (worse) score if you pass through a gate at a different speed (e.g. If you pass through a Light Gate marked "30m/s" at 20m/s or 40m/s, you get 10 points added to your score in both cases).
I like your idea more actually. Makes more intuitive sense. I will change how the gates work after the voting period has concluded.
