Extra highway patrol officers will have drivers who fail to obey the laws at rail-crossings in their sights for the two week operation that began on Monday.
"There have been some recent events that are very concerning to local police," Oxley police Sergeant James Parsons said.
"Drivers and pedestrians need to be aware that the momentary loss of concentration or impatience can lead to catastrophic results for them and their families."
