There were reports that there was no barrier at the crash site, which is also to be a blind spot. The SRT keeps trotting out the same line: those spots are illegal crossings, which the SRT has not approved, and the agency has no money. But those routes are necessary and the SRT has no choice but to make them safe by installing devices of a required standard. Recent media reports reveal the SRT had asked for state funds for the barriers but a House panel vetting the budget scrapped it. Its only hope is that the department can secure the budget, at least for the most dangerous spots, until the SRT can seek a regular budget for the installation for the rest.
