IN respct to your barrier,  i dont see why a standard boom gate with standard
flashing lights and bells isnt enough,  how stupid are people?

THere is a City in the US not sure which one which constantly has accidents ,
there is one inner city level crossing which dosnt even have boom gates, and
apparenytl ppl are killed there still  on a regular basis,  its crazy stuff!
