Blow Hard for Rail Safety

From Lately, 10:28 pm on 8 August 2022

Kiwis are being asked to BLOW LEFT and BLOW RIGHT to avoid collisions on train tracks - which are on the rise. In the last decade, 155 people have died in collisions with trains in New Zealand, and 91 more people have been seriously injured. The year to June 30, saw eight people lose their lives in collisions with trains. In the last year there have been 28 collisions at public level crossings, more than twice the 13 collisions in 2021. Karyn asks TrackSAFE's Megan Drayton if we are too cavalier.
