I don't get why we can't rotate rode gates it would be cool and we should get wha pc gets
You don't get rotatable gates because the roads are vertical only. It would cause more confusion that it would be a bonus, believe me!
Console edition will never be up to date with PC and was never intended to be I'm afraid.

You can span four squares with adjacent large jail doors and that should be sufficient for any thoroughfare.
If you rotate one gate twice it'll display as the same sprite but it'll open in the opposite direction.
PS Today's technology just can't handle vertical gates.
