Driver’s fined for disobeying boom gates

Two drivers have been fined $740 recently for disobeying boom gates on Benalla-Yarrawonga Road, Benalla. Drivers, riders and pedestrians must not start to cross until the signals have stopped flashing and the gates or booms are fully open, even if you cannot see a train. It’s a rule to live by every single day—and it could save your life.
