In what has been a two-year battle, horse trainer Mitch Beer fears someone could be killed if warning lights and a safety crossing are not installed the Albury road.

Mr Beer said all trainers and their staff with stables based on Racecourse Road are forced to play Russian roulette every morning as they cross the road to access the racecourse for track work.

The trainers have raised their concerns to Albury Council, Albury Racing Club and Racing NSW who have so far failed to come up with a suitable solution, according to Mr Beer.

"This isn't a problem that has popped up overnight, it's something the Albury council and the race club have been aware of since I arrived in Albury more than two years ago," Mr Beer said.

"It's an accident waiting to happen because there are no trainers based on the track and every trainer has to cross the road to access the training facilities.

"The number of horses being trained at Albury has grown immensely over the past two years.

"I estimate the amount of traffic using the road has almost doubled as well in the same period.

"I experience near misses on a weekly basis. It only gets worse in winter with the fog when the visibility is close to zero."

Mr Beer said as an employer he has an obligation to provide a safe work environment and the lack of a suitable crossing was a major occupational health and safety issue.

"The frustrating part is the relevant governing bodies are aware of the issue but are handballing the problem around questioning who is going to pay for it to be fixed," he said.

"But enough is enough. I'm not going to sit back and say nothing and then have to ring some kids' parents and tell them their kid is in hospital when it could be avoided.

"I don't think I could cope with the guilt."

Albury Racing Club chief executive Steve Hetherton acknowledged the safety of industry participants was paramount.

"We are fully aware of the issue and have been liaising with Albury council to come up with a solution," he said.

Albury mayor Kevin Mack said road safety was everyone's responsibility.

"The Racecourse Road matter was raised at the Local Traffic Committee meeting in November 2020 and council officers have since undertaken further investigations," he said.

"Council is investigating the installation of illuminated horse crossing signage which would provide greater awareness for motorists travelling through the area.

"This signage would be installed on the northbound and southbound approaches to the crossing."

Cr Mack said following a request from local trainers, in 2017 council undertook improvements to the current crossing, including additional signage to raise motorist awareness about crossing activity.

A non-slip paint was also applied to the pavement to assist with crossing and to provide contrast to road users.

"Council is also monitoring traffic volumes and driver behaviour in the area," Cr Mack said.
