Queensland Rail improved pedestrian safety at the Pomona pedestrian rail crossing in 2020, as part of an overall program to ensure our regional level crossings meet national safety standards.
Improvements to the Pomona pedestrian crossing included:
replacing the existing flashing light with a pedestrian signal
adding a new flashing sign to alert pedestrians when another train is coming, should a train be stopped at the station
introducing a pedestrian maze (without gates), designed to cater for horse riders, mobility scooters and cyclists
signage to instruct horse and bicycle riders to dismount prior to crossing and a height gauge to ensure rider safety
new concrete path connections on both sides connecting to the station carpark on the east and Station Street on the west
lighting along the new path connection from Station Street and up to the station carpark
fencing on both sides of the crossing.
