A novel suggestion for making railway crossings safer was put forward by Mr W. F. McArthur at a recent meeting of the Paparua County Council. In a discussion on rough road surfaces at railway crossings, Mr McArthur commented that it was just as well that they were rough, because they forced drivers to slow down. In fact, there was a lot to be said for having two bumps on each road approaching a crossing. The first would be enough to make the motorist realise the crossing was' ahead, and the second should be a big enough bump to bring speeds down to somewhere about 10 miles an hour.
