A new national advertising campaign is encouraging drivers and pedestrians to take their time when around railway crossings.
This new campaign reminds drivers of the risks around regional railway crossings and raises awareness of the importance of being cautious, emphasising the message to ‘Slow down. Look. Listen for trains.’
The campaign forms part of the Australian Government’s $180.1 million Regional Australia Level Crossing Safety Program, to improve safety around railway crossings in regional areas, which includes $160 million to support lower-cost, high-priority railway crossing upgrades, and $4.7 million for two grants rounds to support research and trials of low-cost, innovative level crossing safety technology and improvements.
