Again I suggest that the so called "level crossing problem" is not really
that but a problem with motorists and how they drive - everyone should go
off and reread the details of the Bulli (NSW) Public School pedestrian
crossing saga, which reflected many of the same problems seen with level
crossings and it becomes patently obvious that we do have a real problem
with car drivers.
