gate arm
Parking lot bar
A gate arm is the horizontal bar that swings or lowers to block vehicle or pedestrian access—at parking garages, railroad crossings, toll booths, or secured entrances.
The arm typically pivots from a post, raising to permit passage and lowering to stop traffic: The gate arm lifted after she inserted her ticket.
