Restrict the speed on road E6 to that compatible with the line of sight available.

Tranz Rail has erected signs that say "Extreme Care - Restricted Visibility". We believe a warning of the hazard is more appropriate than a maximum speed to an RCO who is controlling a movement from a moving vehicle.

We stress that the effectiveness of the signs will be determined by staff being vigilant and following procedures.
