QUOTE (J C @ May 28 2009, 04:30 PM) IMO barriers would not solve the problem either as it seems that the issue is poor signage or lack of driver awareness. The only difference with a barrier is that if you wanted to push your way through the barrier would rise again as I can't imagine and H&S policy allowing a heavy arm to potentially crash through someones windscreen. Therefore no detterent as drivers would be able to flout the system Barriers on their own wouldn't, but add a camera to it and anyone who isn't permitted to be in the area will be given a fine.
