WA rail union pushes back on proposal for safety lights on trains

The Western Australian train drivers' union has criticized a proposed bill requiring additional safety lights on trains, arguing it's not the solution to motorist behavior at level crossings. They claim that more lights won't address the root issue of reckless driving near crossings. This move is significant as it reflects ongoing debates about safety measures and their effectiveness in preventing accidents involving trains and vehicles. The union's stance highlights broader concerns about the practicality and real-world impact of legislative proposals.
