This video shows clearly one of the reasons why Network Rail want to close The High Street Level Crossing at Poole.
In response to The Borough of Poole's "Town center core strategy review" Network Rail replied to The Borough of Poole
"Current misuse of the crossing (both deliberate and accidental) by either swinging or climbing on the barriers or people becoming trapped is posing a safety risk."
Network Rail pointed out that it became extremely busy which made it "more difficult for the controller and crossing users. "
They went on further to say
"Due to the movement away from the local signaller in his small signal box and the placing of this crossing on a much larger panel at Basingstoke, signallers are finding it increasingly difficult to undertake their job effectively and safely."
They also add
"Ideally we will be looking to close this crossing as this will provide the safest solution in combatting the issues mentioned above and the increased safety risk any further development in the area would create."
In the first clip you see two people Cross after the lights start flashing and the audible siren sounds. (not the people already crossing when it starts).
In the second clip you see 9 People cross and one half hearted attempt after the audible siren and lights have started.
And finally in the third clip you see 17 people start to cross after the siren and warning lights have started with two nearly getting caught by the barriers. Now imagine the total of 28 people were driving cars. That's at least a £400 fine plus costs and 3 penalty points on your license.
I have said time & Time again if people get hit or caught in the middle of the barriers its entirely their own fault. There is a white line where the majority of people stop ..... That's where these 28 should have.Personally speaking I think they need British Transport Police down there as well as #Network Rail dishing out £400 fines as well as educational courses. I personally do not agree that this crossing should be closed. There is no way a DDOA compliant structure would fit in the space provided. AN underpass could go in. But closing it and moving access away from the high street WHERE THE SHOPS are would damage business and affect the remaining shops on the high street.
