Vic: Campaign to curb deaths at level crossings

A campaign is underway in Victoria .. aimed at curbing the number of people killed
at level crossings.

The state government's "Don't Risk It" safety campaign will target both motorists and
pedestrians across Victoria.

Public Transport minister LYNNE KOSKY says there'll be ads in newspapers .. on TV ..

and on radio from tomorrow .. encouraging all road users to observe warning systems at
crossings.

As part of the government's 33 million dollar level crossing safety package .. announced
in June this year .. there'll also be tougher penalties for drivers who deliberately ignore
warning lights.
