Abstract: A vehicle barrier system employing a first gate arm having a first continuous side wall with a first channel, a second gate arm slidably insertable into the first gate arm having a second channel, and a third gate arm slidably insertable into the second gate arm with a third channel. A fastener secures the extended gate arms to a desired length. Once extended, an LED light strip is placed through the channels. The light strip can be cut to size as necessary, wherein the length of the gate arm and associated light strip can be adjusted on site to a particular length. A controller is used to pivot the gate arm between a horizontal and vertical position to operate as a vehicle barrier.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a vehicle barrier system and method of use. The vehicle barrier system includes a control system adapted to pivot a gate arm between a horizontal position and a vertical position to control the flow of vehicle or pedestrian traffic in control access areas such as parking lots, or parking garages. The gate arm includes inset channels that are disposed along the longitudinal axis of the gate arm and configured to each remove ably receive an array of light emitting diodes to increase visibility and alert drivers or pedestrians to the presence of a gate arm.
