The warning device mechanism was in place at the crossing in my riding and it was the motivation for my bill.
I didn't want to be prescriptive about a piece of machinery that clearly didn't work in the interest of the safety of people, so I did not pursue that at all. For example, if the rail area has been improperly maintained, or a family drives across and a little bicycle gets caught in it, I want inspectors to be able to say, “That's not safe and we have to fix that.” I want it to have teeth, which apparently at present is not the case.
