Description
The city of Melbourne is trying to increase efforts to make its Brightline rails safer after recent fatal crashes killed three people over the span of two days.
On Monday, crews installed slim yellow poles along the center lane directly at the crossing where the crashes occurred.
The city's mayor, Paul Alfrey announced the installation of the slim barriers (which are also called delineators) on social media saying that their purpose is to make it harder for a car to change lanes near the crossing, discouraging drivers from trying to drive their way around the arm of a closed crossing gate.
