Safety Issue
The railway 'Stop' sign assembly (RX-2 modified) positioned
approximately 4.6 m from the nearest rail instead of nearer to 3.5
m as recommended in Australian Standard AS 1742.7, made it more
difficult for the driver to gain a clear view of approaching
trains.
Safety Recommendation
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau recommends that the
Australian Rail Track Corporation take action to address this
safety issue.
