Safety Issue
The approach warning signage on the south west approach of the
Barpinba- Poorneet Road level crossing was not compliant with
AS1742.7-1993 and in poor repair. A motorist unfamiliar with the
road would probably be unaware of the level crossing until they
could directly sight it.
Safety Recommendation
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau recommends that the Colac
Otway Shire Council take action to address this safety issue.
