Page 8, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, January 7, 1987 Crossings will have new signs A new weapon in the war on railway crossing accidents was unveiled in On- tario recently, stated a news release. The first of thousands of new, highly-reflective warning signs will be installed across the province over the next year. The signs, in red and white, will be visible from greater distances, par- ticularly at night when they reflect light far more brightly than the old black and white "'crossbuck"' signs long familiar to Canadian drivers. While maintaining the crossed shape, they are pictographic, in that they carry no lettering, thus will be universal across Canada. The changeover began last year in British Columbia and Alberta. Conversion was completed this spring. The railways are now install- ing the new crossbucks in Saskat- chewan, Manitoba and Ontario. By March 31, 1988, the conversion of more than 31,000 crossings will have occurred. : There are more than 6,500 crossings in Ontario, the second largest number in any province. In addition to the war- ning signs, about 45 per cent of all On- tario crossings have flashing lights and bells. ~ / Although Ontario has one-quarter of all the railway crossings in Canada, the province accounted for one-third of all accidents reported to the Canadian Transport Commission in 1985: 199 accidents involving 18 deaths and 98 injuries. Five years ago, there were 277 ac- cidents in Ontario. Twenty-eight peo- ple were killed and 127 injured. -------------------- Hansen arrives A sudden snowfall delayed Hansen's arrival.
