Western Australia’s opposition says it will introduce a bill to state parliament to require trains to have mandatory lighting. The proposal is aimed at improving safety at passive rail crossings—locations without active warning systems—across the state. The initiative follows a long-running campaign associated with “Lara’s 25-year fight” for better rail safety, which has focused on reducing the risk of collisions at crossings where visibility and warnings are limited. Under the plan, train lighting would be legislated as a standard safety measure, intended to make trains more visible to road users approaching tracks. The articles agree that the bill is intended to save lives by enhancing detection at these passive crossing sites. The coverage also notes that the announcement represents a “big step forward” in the effort to push for regulatory change through the WA parliamentary process. The reports do not provide further detail on the bill’s specific technical requirements, implementation timeline, or how enforcement would work.
