Other rail safety campaigns

Aurizon, like TrackSAFE and our industry colleagues, is determined to make a difference to level crossing safety wherever we operate in Australia. Where we look to new technology and engineering solutions; work with police and road authorities on enforcement; as well as increasing community awareness through the sharing of these important safety messages. Together we are urging the community – motorists, truck drivers and pedestrians  – to take notice of the signs that are there for everyone’s protection. Whether they are railway cross-arms, bells and flashing lights or boom gates, we are asking everyone to Respect the sign. Lives are on the line. Resources can be found here.
