I read an article recently on the growing  prevalence of boom gate
strikes, I think in Qld.

Nothing will deter an inattentive or incompetent driver

Would the installation of boom gates at the Elliot Ave/
tram level crossing prevent future collisions? The Glenelg tramway
uses them as does our Port Melbourne lightrail just before the
terminus.
A few decades ago the traffic lights were installed when the long
time practice of cars giving way to crossing trams broke down. Boom
gates would seem to be the next logical step. Any thoughts?
