Don’t even need to do that, the gates clearly have the capability because there’s a go/no-go indicator. It’s incredibly easy to fix but for some reason WMATA wants it this way

They could get smarter about when to activate one-ways automatically. Elevators even know what floor they should be on depending on time of day. Small problem is that when folks are swarming the gates at busy stations, they can't see the red through the crowd, so will keep crowding. Just a guess. It may also cause accessibility issues for folks with visibility issues who'd get confused about which gates will be active apparently randomly.
