❓ Mr. Love questions the safety of the Redmond rail crossing following a fatal accident, citing faded markings and missing signs. The government asserts compliance with standards and highlights ongoing upgrades to level crossings.

I refer to the rail crossing at Redmond, near Albany where 29 year old Cailee Mansell, the mother of three children, was killed on 16 July 2025. Allegedly, line markings on the road at this crossing were faded and worn and warning signs were missing and I ask:(a) What is the Government doing to improve safety at this railway level crossing so that it complies with Main Roads WA standards;(b) What is the government doing to upgrade the signs at all level crossings to the current Main Roads Policy, adopted in 2017; and(c) What is the inspection and maintenance regime for ensuring signs and lines are properly maintained to ensure level crossings are safe?

(a – c)  The crossing complies with relevant Australian Standards and Policies. Through the current level crossing capital works program, Main Roads WA is delivering improvements to 82 locations through a suite of measures including boom gates, flashing lights, and pedestrian crossings. Following these upgrades, there will no longer be any public level crossings marked with a give-way sign.
