The amount of road & rail traffic, location of the crossing and the amount of near misses. Also many crossings in the north are private cane railways and not the resposiblity of QR nor the state government.<br /><br />You also have to remember that boom gates don't stop the idiots. Boom gate strikes are a common issue to the point where cameras are required in high non-compliance areas.Huggieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887567058229135501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-91633433193719681442015-06-19T11:25:29.958+10:002015-06-19T11:25:29.958+10:00The one at Cardwell was upgraded following the las...The one at Cardwell was upgraded following the last crash. I dunno how many people there got wiped out over the years, but it was the Bligh Government which finally did something about it. Interesting about what the NSW government does. Maybe we need to follow suit here.Bob R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-29311811360689525882015-06-17T09:02:38.994+10:002015-06-17T09:02:38.994+10:00This is a good point.

How come no accidents at James Street Crossing?<br />One of the busiest crossings in the cairns region?<br />And there's no boom gates installed here.<br /><br />A. Because every accident is because the lazy dead brain driver who did not obey the rules and approach the crossing with caution.<br /><br />Reality is that these boom gate installations cost $400,000+ each.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-50370547015499664562015-06-16T18:19:16.632+10:002015-06-16T18:19:16.632+10:00blight - I can see what youve done there.

And started installing boom gates through regional towns. Newman? I can think of some funny names to call him and his do nothing cronies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
