The many accidents at railway crossings in New Zealand are no doubt largely the result of carelessness on t hi' part oi drivers ol motor-ears and oH er vehii les. 'I lie Department states tliat drivers should actually obey the warning to stop and look out for the engine, yet scarcely anyone obeys the injunction. In recent years the Department lias made a. further effort to prevent accidents by erecting a second signpost on either side of, and some little distance from, the crossing. 'Che object of these jkisls, shaped like a cross, with the words “Level crossing ” on the arms, is to give the motorist a "breather” before he reaches the danger zone, and so enable him to pull up in a short space ol time, should the approach of a train make such a course of action necessary. The Department is carrying out improvements at crossings wherever possible. Some crossings, however, are so situated that it is not easy for motorists and others to get a view ol an approaching train. Cuttings, hedges, and trees intervene at a number of tlie ju'ineip'ii erdssiligs iii the Dominion. At the crossings most used by tiie public, tiie automatic bell system is in use. and this seems to have worked satisfactorily in the past. As soon as a train approaches, the hell is set ringing, and it rings continuously until the danger is past. Sometimes it happens- that the warning hell signal is not hoard, or is disregarded, and the Department is now experimenting with a wig-wag signal which it will he difficult to pass without notice.
