Protecting the Train Driver and the Public at the User Worked Crossing

The article discusses about protecting the train driver and the public at the user worked crossing. With modern technology it will be a fairly simple exercise to provide at least a visual indication to the road user when it is safe to cross. We have been asked to investigate the feasibility of a simple system to achieve this. There are many hundreds of user worked crossings around the country and any system that can reduce the danger must be considered on merit.
