I always put stiles and gates offset from any vehicular highway just near the beginning of the relevant pedestrian way - even if this means creating a stub for the pedestrian way where this has yet to be surveyed (and then the stub also serves as a reminder to go back and do the additional mapping!). The problems with placing the barrier on the vehicular highway or at the intersection node are clear!
