Better late than never
The Better Late Than Never campaign can be seen at pedestrian crossings across the Perth urban rail network.

Pedestrian crossings can be found at points on the rail network where it’s safe for passengers to cross. In Perth all pedestrian crossings have automatic gates that close when a one or more trains are approaching.

More than 100 people a year choose to ignore the warnings and cross the train track illegally. It may not seem like a big number but one small error in judgement could be fatal. And, the consequences don’t stop there, have you thought about what it will do to the train driver, transit officer and your family when you jump the gates?

It’s definitely Better To Be Late Than Never – ignore them and you risk a $200 fine or your life
