Driver’s fined for disobeying boom gates
Two drivers have been fined $740 recently for disobeying boom gates on Benalla-Yarrawonga Road, Benalla. Drivers, riders and pedestrians must not start to cross until the signals have stopped flashing and the gates or booms are fully open, even if you cannot see a train. It’s a rule to live by every single day—and it could save your life.
Road users are reminded to keep clear of the train tracks and not enter the crossing unless there is room for your vehicle on the other side of the tracks.
