In addition to the comments already made I would strongly recommend that an amendment to Tranz Rail Limited policy on the installation of barrier arms be recommended to Tranz Rail Limited. I would recommend that in addition to its current policies on barrier arm installation and location Tranz Rail staff have the flexibility to approve or recommend on a location by location basis. This includes the ability to negotiate with local authorities on the installation of such safety devices and with or without reference to the national Level Crossing Upgrading Accident Priority List.
