In this particular case there are three gates. It is a gated road, and then the 
are gates in the hedge on either side of the road into fields. Hence the 
question about adding roadway up to the other gates ...

And of cause what is missing on the wiki page is 'width'. That is probably more 
important than height especially when moving combines and the like around :)
